Answer: y = 3x - 6

Step-by-step explanation: A line that is parallel to another line must have the same slope, so you already have y = 3x + b. To find b, use the point that they give. b is the y-intercept, so just subtract 3(x) from the y coordinate of the point, where x is the x-coordinate of the given point.
