First find the slope of the line .

Rewrite the line in slope-intercept form y = mx + b, where m is slope and b is y-intercept.

         (Subtract 2x from each side)

                          (Simplify)

                 (Divide aech side by 3) \ \

                     (Simplify)

Compare the equation with slope-intercept form and find the slope of the line.

= .

The line is paralle to . Parallel line has same slope.

So, slope of the new line = .

Graph the line using given point and slope.

1.      Draw a coordinate plane.

2.      Plot the given point (2, -1).

3.   Find the next point using . Start at (2, -1) and go down 2 units and 3 units right, then mark a dot and label it.

4.   Draw a line through these points.

Graph of the line passing through the point (2, -1) and slope is
