parallel to 3y=6x, and through (-2,3)
parallel lines have same slope

3y=6x...write in slope intercept form
y=6x%2F3
y=2x=> slope is 2

parallel line will be:
y=mx%2Bb.......substitute m
y=2x%2Bb...........use given point (-2,3) to calculate b
3=2%28-2%29%2Bb
3=-4%2Bb
3%2B4=b
b=7
your line is:
y=2x%2B7
