Answer:

y+3=5/3(x+6)

Explanation:

Since it is parallel to 5x-3y=9, you need to find the slope of that line because then you would find the slope to your line.

5x-3y=9

5x=9+3y

5x-9=3y

y=5/3x-3, and the slope would be 5/3.

Now you can apply point slope form
y-y_(1)=m(x-x_(1) ) to get an equation.

y+3=5/3(x+6)
