First, a line that is parallel, means a line that has the same slope as the original. To find the slope of the original equation, we have to solve for y.
-2x+3y=-6
3y=2x-6
y=2/3x-2
From this equation, we can see that the slope of the line is 2/3. For every 2 units you go up, you move three units over.

Now we need to use the point (-2,0) to find the equation of the parallel line. 
y-y=m(x-x)

Plug in the point coordinates and the slope, and solve for the final equation of the line.
y-0=2/3(x+2)
y=2/3x+ 4/3
