For 3x + 2y = 1, we can find the slope directly as -A/B = -3/2.
Now plug into y = mx + b to get b...
15 = (-3/2)(6) + b
15 = -9 + b
b = 24 and then
y = (-3/2)x + 24
is the line you want...

Parallel lines have the same left hand side, different right hand side.
3x%2B2y=D
Use the point to solve for D.
3%286%29%2B2%2815%29=D
D=18%2B30
D=48

3x%2B2y=48
