    y = 3x - 16

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The equation of a line in slope - intercept form is

    y = mx + c (m is the slope and c the y - intercept)

    y = 3x - 2 ← is in slope - intercept form

    with m = 3

    Parallel lines have equal slopes, thus

    y = 3x + c ← is the partial equation

    To find c substitute (6, 2) into the partial equation

    2 = 18 + c ⇒ c = 2 - 18 = - 16

    y = 3x - 16 ← equation of line
