To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

1. If both lines are parallel, they have the same slope (
m=3)

2. You have that the equation of the line is:


y=mx+b

Where
m is the slope and
b is the y-intercept.

3. You know that the other line must pass through the point (
1,8). So, you can solve for
b to calculate its value, as following:


8=3(1)+b\\ b=5

4. Therefore, the equation of the line that is parallel to
y=3x-8 is


y=3x+5

The answer is:
y=3x+5
