for the lines to be parallel, the slopes are the same.
+y=-3x%2B6+ the new line has a slope of -3 and point (2,6)
+y=mx%2Bb+ plug the numbers in and solve for b
+6=-3%282%29%2Bb+ multiply
+6=-6%2Bb+ add 6 to both sides
+12=%2Bb+ plug this number and the slope into the basic equation
+y=-3x%2B12+ this is it
