The given line is in slope-intercept form, hence the coefficient on 
is the slope of the given line. Parallel lines have equal slopes, so use the point-slope form
 )
where )
are the coordinates of the given point and 
is the indicated slope.

Write an equation for the line parallel to the given line that contains C.
C(3,8) y=-3x+1
**
equation of a straight line: y=mx+b, m=slope, b=y-intercept
slope of given line=-3
slope of line parallel to given line=-3
equation of parallel line: y=-3x+b
solving for b using coordinates of given point (3,8)
8=-3*3+b
b=17
equation: y=-3x+17
