Question 661552: Write an equation of the line parallel to the line y = 3x + 2 that passes through (2,0). I already know that the slope of y = 3x + 2 is 3/1, but I really need help with the rest of this. Thanks!

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Write an equation of the line parallel to the line y = 3x + 2 that passes through (2,0). I already know that the slope of y = 3x + 2 is 3/1, but I really need help with the rest of this
**
equation of a line: y=mx+b, m=slope, b=y-intercept
parallel lines have the same slope
equation of parallel line: y=3x+b
To find b, plug in coordinates of given point (2,0)
0=3*2+b
b=-6
equation of parallel line: y=3x-6
