We want the form y = mx + b, where m is the lope and b is the y intercept
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "parallel lines have the same slope, therefore m = -3
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "so far we have
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "y = -3x + b
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "we are given the point (2, 3) contained by the line we seek
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "3 = -3(2) + b
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "b = 9
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "***********************************
\n" ); document.write( "the point slope form of the line is
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "y = -3x +9
\n" ); document.write( "***********************************

\n" ); document.write( "here is a graph of the two lines

\n" ); document.write( "y = -3x is the red line and y = -3x +9 is the green line
