Since the slope of line is 3, the slope of the line parallel to is is also m=3. To find the equation of the line going through the point (3,6) use the following equation.
(y-y1)=m(x-x1) Plug in known values
(y-6)=3(x-3) Distribute
y-6=3x-9 Add 6 to both sides
y-6+6=3x-9+6 Simplify
y=3x-3

Parallell lines have the same Slope, that means the slope of the line is 3.
the equation is given by (y-y1)= m(x-x1) where (x1,y1) is (3,6)
therefore Line is (y-6)=3(x-3)
y-6=3x-9 removing bracket
y-6+6=3x-9+6 adding 6 at both sides
y=3x-3 equation of line
