Answer:

The slope parallel to this line would be 2/3

Explanation:

To find a parallel slope, start by finding the slope of the original line.

3y = 2x + 5

y = 2/3x + 5/3

So, we can see here that the slope is 2/3. Since parallel lines have the same slope, we know the parallel slope to also be 2/3
