-
for parallel, slope stays the same.


point wanted, (-3,2)


-




----------read original equation incorrectly-----------





PARALLEL, use same slope.

Your y-intercept found later, if you want.

The other tutor misread the original equation, so his answer is not right.

Any line parallel to the given line with equation will have an equation of the form for some constant c.

To find the constant c, use the fact that the given point must satisfy the equation:


An equation of the line you are looking for is


Solve that equation for y to get slope-intercept form.
