Answer

$y=3x-2$

Work Step by Step

The given point is $(-2,-8)$. The given equation of the line is $\Rightarrow y=3x-1$ Slope of the line is $m=3$. Slope of the parallel line is $m=3$. The slope-intercept form is $\Rightarrow y=mx+b$ Substitute $3$ for $m,-2$ for $x,$ and $-8$ for $y$. $\Rightarrow -8=-3(-2)+b$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow -8=-6+b$ Add $6$ to each side. $\Rightarrow -8+6=-6+b+6$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow -2=b$. The equation of the parallel line is $\Rightarrow y=3x-2$.
