You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The equation y+=+-3x+-+6 is in the form
y+=+mx+%2B+b where m is the slope, so
m+=+-3
Any line parallel to this line will also have m+=+-3
I can write this equation as
y+=+-3x+%2B+b
To find b, I just plug in the (x,y) = (0,2)
2+=+-3%2A0+%2B+b
b+=+2
So, the equation is
y+=+-3x+%2B+2
