Parallel lines have the same slope.

In this case, the slope of the line is 3/5.

Then, any line that satisfies y=3/5*x+C, being C any constant, is parallel to our line.

Then, when C=0 for example, we have the line y=3/5*x that is parallel and goes through the center of coordinates (0,0).

Graphically, we can see that they a re parallel:

Answer: y = 3/5*x + C, with C=constant. There are infinte solutions if no other restriction is made, so for example y=3/5*x is parallel to y=3/5*x-2.
