parallel lines have the same exact slope hmmm what's the slope of y = 2/3x-7 anyway? well, low and behold, is already in slope-intercept form, therefore

$\bf \stackrel{\textit{slope-intercept form}}{y=\stackrel{slope}{\cfrac{2}{3}}x-7}$ .

so we're really looking for the equation of a line whose slope is 2/3, and runs through 3, -1.
