For a graph to be parallel, it means the slope must be the same. Slope intercept form is y=mx+b, m being the slope. That means that your equation just needs a different y intercept, or b value, and the line will be parallel. One equation would be y = 3x + 5, another y = 3x - 6, and you could even do y = 3x + 1576.35.
