What is the equation of the line that is parallel to y=3x + 1 an
d passes through the point (2,6)?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

slope is 3, for the line to be parallel to the given one.

Starting from point slope form and using the needed point,
y-6=3%28x-2%29

From this,
y=3x-6%2B6
highlight%28y=3x%29
