You can put this solution on YOUR website!
+y+=+3x+-+2+
has the form
+y+=+m%2Ax+%2B+b+ where +m+ is the slope
+m+=+3+
Any line parallel to this one has the same slope
---------------
Use the point-slope formula
+%28+y+-%28+-3%29+%29+%2F+%28+x+-+1+%29+=+3+
+%28+y+%2B+3+%29+%2F+%28+x+-+1+%29+=+3+
+y+%2B+3+=+3%2A%28+x+-+1+%29+
+y+%2B+3+=+3x+-+3+
+y+=+3x+-+6+
----------------
check:
Does it go through ( 1, -3 )?
+-3+=+3%2A1+-+6+
+-3+=+3+-+6+
+-3+=+-3+
