Use the formula to write the scale instead of the key signature (WHWWHWW). The relative minor scale begins on the sixth note of the major scale. So to find the relative minor scale of a major scale just start on the sixth note of the major scale, that is the first note of the minor scale. // i dont understand this, pictures are attached, please help.

How to find the minor scale of a major scale?

To sum up: you find the relative minor of a major scale by counting up 6 scale steps (or, more easily, down 3) and playing the same pitches starting from there. To form the parallel minor you start on the same tonic but play different pitches. Major keys and their relative minor keys share the same key signature.
