Rule: parallel lines have equal slopes, but different y intercepts.
The given line
y = 4x+8
has slope m = 4.
Refer to y = mx+b form
We'll plug that m value along with the coordinates of the point (3,-2) to solve for b
y = mx+b
y = 4x+b
-2 = 4*3+b
-2 = 12+b
-2-12 = b
-14 = b
b = -14
Answer: y = 4x-14
