Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Two lines are parallel if they have the same slope but different y-intercepts. So the slope that can be formed given the points (-3,6) and (9,2) is (9-(-3))/(2-6)=12/-4=-3

With y=-3x+b, we need b, which can be found by plugging in either point:

2=-3(9)+b

2=-27+b

29=b

So the y-intercept therefore cannot be 29 but it can be any real number.

So the equation y=-3x+2 works, y=-3x+3, y=-3x+4, and so on....
