Answer: y = 2/3x + 4

Explanation:

The slope-intercept form of the equation of a line looks like: y = mx + b

where m = slope and (0,b) is the y-intercept.

The line y=2/3x+7 is given in slope-intercept form.

All lines parallel to this one have the same slope (m=2/3). The one with y-intercept (0,4) has the equation:

y = 2/3x + 4
