Question

Write an equation of the line that passes through (−5, −2)(−5, −2) and is parallel to y=23x+1y=23x+1.

Answer 1

Assuming you meant 2/3
y=2/3x+1 and (-5,-2)

paralell means same slope
y=mx+b
m=slope

y=2/3x+1
sllope=2/3

point slope
y-y1=m(x-x1)
for slope=m
a point is (x1,y1)

slope=2/3
point=(-5,-2)

y-(-2)=2/3(x-(-5))
y+2=2/3(x+5)
or
y=2/3x+16/3
