Answer

$y=\frac{2}{3}x-12$

Work Step by Step

Bring the equation of the given line in the slope intercept form: $2x-3y=30$ $-3y=-2x+30$ $3y=2x-30$ $y=\frac{2}{3}x-15$ Let $m$ be the slope of this line. Then $m=\frac{2}{3}$ The required line has slope $m$ and passes through $(24,4)$. Its equation is: $y-4=\frac{2}{3}(x-24)$ Bring it to slope intercept form: $3y-12=2(x-24)$ $3y-12=2x-48$ $3y=2x-48+12$ $3y=2x-36$ $y=\frac{2}{3}x-\frac{36}{3}$ $y=\frac{2}{3}x-12$
