We may start by putting the given equation in slope-intercept from:


3x-2y = 8 \iff 3x - 8 = 2y \iff y = (3)/(2)x-4.

We can now easily identify the slope:


m = (3)/(2).

Since parallel lines have the same slope (as you already seem to know), any line with equation


y = (3)/(2) + b, \quad\textrm{with } b \in \mathbb{R},

is parallel to the given line. By choosing, for instance,
b = 0, we get:


\boxed{y= (3)/(2)x}.
