Step 1: Find the slope of the line 2x−3y=9 . Use a forward slash (i.e. "/") for all fractions (e.g. 1/2 for 12 ).

What would the parallel slope be?

Step 2: Use the slope to find the y
-intercept of the parallel line.

Step 3: Write the equation of the line that passes through the point (4,−1)
that is parallel to the line 2x−3y=9
