Ok so you want to find an equation that is parallel to y = -3x + 5


The slope stays the same but you find the y-intercept of the point through which the parallel line has to go through


They already gave us the y-intercept in the point they specified which is (0,2)


Then your equation should be y = -3x + 2


Hope this helps you out!
