Parallel means it has the same slope as the original line.
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=-3x-9\"
\n" ); document.write( "So the new line has the form,
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=-3x%2Bb\"
\n" ); document.write( "Use the point to solve for b.
\n" ); document.write( "\"2=-3%281%29%2Bb\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"b=5\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( ".
