You can put this solution on YOUR website! write the equation of the line L satisfying the given geometric conditions.
L has y-intercept (0,-3) and is parallel to the line with equation y=2/3x+1.
The form of the answer is y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the
y-intercept. You are given both of these in the statement of the
problem.
Slope of L is (2/3) because the line whose equation you want is parallel
to the given line which has a slope of 2/3.
y-intercept of L is -3 because you are told it is (0,-3)
So the equation you want is y=(2/3)x-3
