Answer: y=2/3x+5

Step-by-step explanation:y

=

2

3

x

+

5

Using the slope-intercept form, the slope is

2

3

.

m

=

2

To find an equation that is parallel to

y

=

2

3

x

+

5

, the slopes must be equal. Using the slope of the equation, find the parallel line using the point-slope formula.
