Answer:

y = (2/3)x + K, where K is any number except 1

Explanation:

In the slope-intercept form of the linear equation, y = mx +b, the 'm' is for the slope, m = 2/3.

Any line that also has a slope of 2/3 will be parallel.

y = (2/3)x - 10 will be parallel

y = (2/3)x + 12 will be parallel

y = (2/3)x - (1/2) will be parallel

y = (2/3)x + 5,391 will be parallel

Maybe this is a multiple choice question?

Because there is not really just one unique answer to the question as you have presented it.

Hope this helps!
