Parallel lines have equal slopes
y=3x−2 is in slope-intercept form
x y = m x + b
where m is the slope and b the y-intercept
y = 3 x - 2 has slope m = 3
hence a parallel line will have slope m=3
the equation of a line in point-slope form is.
x y - y 1 = m ( x - x 1 )
where m is the slope and ( x 1 , y 1 ) a point on the line
here m = 3 and ( x 1 , y 1 ) = ( - 2 , 8 )
y - 8 = 3 ( x - ( - 2 ) )
y - 8 = 3 ( x + 2 ) in point-slope form
