Every line parallel to the line with equation 3x+y-10=0 (or 3x+y = 10) will have an equation of the form 3x+y = C where C is some constant.

Given a point on the line that is parallel to the given line, simply substitute the coordinates of the given point into the equation to find C:

3x+y = 3(3)+(-6) = 9-6 = 3

ANSWER: 3x+y = 3
