You can put this solution on YOUR website! I think I know what the problem is, but it's not too clear from
your statement of it.
 is the equation of a straight line. You should be able to graph it. All you need is 2 points and draw a line through them. The
easiest points to get are (0,y) and (x,0). Make  and
find  , then make  and find 
 so, the line goes through (0,-2)
 so, the line goes through (2,0)
You need to know the slope of the line
If the line is in the form  ,
then  is the slope. In this equation,
 because it's 
The problem wants to know what the equation is
that goes through (3,3) and is parallel to
. Since , it will look
like  . Substitute (3,3) for
and to find  .
So, the line parallel to through (3,3)
is  or just
