Since you need to find a PARALLEL line to y=3x-2, you already know that the incline is 3x because otherwise the two lines would intersect somewhere.
So for your new equation you now have y=3x+b, so you only need to find b. To do so you’ll need to replace all other variables by numbers with the point that is given and then isolate b.
You can do so with the point that is given to you (-4, 2). You replace y by 2 since the point is (x,y) and replace x by -4.
The first part is correct because adding 4 to each side will help isolate the variable w, but since w is divided by 8 already you would want to multiply by 8 instead, so dividing each side by 8 would not work.
You would select the points with the x-values -3 and 2 and use the slope formula: (-3, -36) and (2,4) ← slope formula x1 = -3 y1 = -36 and x2 = 2 y2 = 4
← slope formula
