Question 874269
2    	x	 	3	y  	=	4	
Find the slope of this line							
make y the subject							
3	y  	=	-2    	x	+	4	
Divide by	3						
	y  	=	- 2/3	x	+	4/3	
Compare this equation with y=mx+b							
slope m =	- 2/3						
The slope of a line parallel to the above line will be the same							
The slope of the required line will be			- 2/3				
m=	- 2/3	,point	(	7      	,	3	)
Find b by plugging the values of m & the point in							
y=mx+b							
3	=	-14/ 3	+	b			
b=	23/3						
m=	- 2/3						
Plug value of  the slope  and b					in y = mx +b		
The required equation is		y  	=	- 2/3	x	+	23/ 3
