Write an equation of the line that is parallel to the given line
and passes through the given point.
y = 2x + 2, (3, 2)
First we find the slope of the given line by comparing it to
y = mx + b
y = 2x + 2, so we see that m = 2 and b = 2. Bur we only need m=2
Now we use the point slope form
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
using (x1, y1) = (3, 2), and m = 2
y - 2 = 2(x - 3)
y - 2 = 2x - 6
y = 2x - 4
