---------------------------------------------
the line parrallel to y=6x-2 through (1,-3)
---------------------------------------------

For parallel, the slope is the same (6).
The y-intercept is different.

y=6x%2Bb
y-6x=b
b=y-6x
substituting the point given, required to be on the looked-for line:
b=-3-6%2A1
b=-9

Equation for asked-for line: highlight%28y=6x-9%29


Your other exercise, for perpendicular, you want a slope to be negative reciprocal of the given slope. You do the rest.
