Hi

parallel to the line 2x+3y+4=0 OR y = -(2/3)x -3/4

Good work on finding slope of the line parallel to our new line.



Note: the standard slope-intercept form for an equation of a line is

 y = mx + b  where m is the slope and b the y-intercept.  



New Line: parallel lines have identical slopes..

 y = -(2/3)x + 6  |Using the  y-intercept given that is 6
