Keeping in standard form, the left member will be 4x-y if the equation you are looking for is parallel to the given equation. The right member will then be equal to the expression 4x-y evaluated at the point given, (3,-6), because you want the line being found to contain this point.

Simplify this: 4x-y=4%283%29-%28-6%29
