\textsf{Parallel lines have the same slope, thus:}


.\qquad\bullet\sf{Slope\:of\:the\:line\:that's\:parallel\:to\:the\:given\:line: (1)/(3)}


\textsf{Next, we'll apply the \textbf{Point-Slope Formula:}}


.\qquad\bullet\sf{y-y_1=m(x-x_1)}


\textbf{\underline{Setting the values:}}


.\qquad\bullet\sf{y_1=2}\\.\qquad\bullet m=1/3\\.\qquad\bullet x_1=6}}


\textbf{\underline{Plugging in the values:}}


.\qquad\bullet\sf{y-2=(1)/(3) (x-6)}\\\\.\qquad\bullet y-2=(1)/(3)x-2}\\\\.\qquad\bullet y=(1)/(3) x}
