Hi there!
A line parallel to y = 8/3x has a slope of 8/3, therefore:
Plug the given slope into the slope-intercept formula, along with the given coordinates to solve for the formula:
2 = 8/3(1) + b
2 = 8/3 + b
6/3 = 8/3 + b
6/3 - 8/3 = b
b = -2/3
Therefore, the equation in slope formula is:
y = 8/3x - 2/3
