If its going in .htaccess of your doc root, then a simple rewrite should work:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.b\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.a.com/$1 [R,L]
This assumes you have the Rewrite module loaded in the main config file:
LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
You need to use a rewrite condition where you check the hostname and if it equals to domain b, you redirect the user to domain a.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.b\.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.a.com/$1 [R=301,L]
The R=301 will tell the webserver to send a HTTP 301 Moved Permanently header. The L stands for Last and will make apache stop trying to look for further matching rewrite rules.
