Answer:
m = 3 and c = - 1
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 of the parallel line
To find c substitute (1, 2) into the partial equation
2 = 3 + c ⇒ c = 2 - 3 = - 1
y = 3x - 1 ← equation of parallel line
with m = 3 and c = - 1
