Answer:

y = 3x+5

y = 3x+9

y = 3x+22

There are infinitely many ways to answer this

======================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines have equal slopes, but different y intercepts.

So the answers will have y = 3x in them. We'll change the +2 to other values.

Pick 3 of your favorite numbers, as long as you don't pick the number 2.

I'll pick the numbers 5, 9 and 22

Three possible answers are:

y = 3x+5

y = 3x+9

y = 3x+22

All of those equations have a slope of 3, but different y intercepts so we are guaranteed to have parallel lines to the original y = 3x+2.
