the standard form for a line is y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept
\n" ); document.write( "y-3=3(x+1)
\n" ); document.write( "y = 3x + 3 +3
\n" ); document.write( "y = 3x + 6
\n" ); document.write( "slope of the line is 3
\n" ); document.write( "the parallel line will have the same slope
\n" ); document.write( "y = 3x + b
\n" ); document.write( "we solve for b by using the point (0, -2)
\n" ); document.write( "-2 = 3*0 + b
\n" ); document.write( "b = -2 and the formula for the parallel line is
\n" ); document.write( "y = 3x -2
\n" ); document.write( "now for the ordered pair when x = -2
\n" ); document.write( "y = 3*-2 -2
\n" ); document.write( "y = -8
\n" ); document.write( "the ordered pair is (-2, -8)
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
