#y = 37x - 680 #

Explanation:

Since the y= 37x + 29 's slope is 37, thus our line is also has the same slope.

m1=m2= 37

using point slope equation, y-y1 = m(x-x1)

#y - y 1 = m (x - x 1 )#

#y - 23 = 37 (x - 19 )#

#y - 23 = 37x - 703 #

#y = 37x - 703+23 #

#y = 37x - 680 #

#y=37x-680#

Explanation:

We know that, if the slope of the line #l_1# is #m_1# and the slope of the line #l_2 #is #m_2# then #color(red)(l_1////l_2<=>m_1=m_2# (parallel lines)

The line #l # passes through #(19,23)#.

Line #l # is parallel to # y=37x+29#

Comparing with #y=mx+c=>m=37#

So, the slope of the line #l # is #m=37#

The equation of line #l # passes through #(x_1,y_1) and # has

slope m is

#color(red)(y-y_1=m(x-x_1)#.,where,#( x_1,y_1)=(19,23) and m=37#

#:.y-23=37(x-19)#

#=>y-23=37x-703#

#=>y=37x-680#
