Write an equation of the line that is parallel to the given line
and passes through the given point. 

y = 2x + 2, (3, 2)

First we find the slope of the given line by comparing it to

y = mx + b
y = 2x + 2, so we see that m = 2 and b = 2.  Bur we only need m=2
 
Now we use the point slope form

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

using (x1, y1) = (3, 2), and m = 2

y - 2 = 2(x - 3)
y - 2 = 2x - 6
    y = 2x - 4
