Answer:

y = 12x

Explanation:

Parallel lines are line which contain the same slope, the y-intercept does not matter with parallel lines.

Parallel lines never intersect and should they intersect, it would not be considered a parallel line.

In system of equations, Parallel lines do not contain any solution.

1) In this problem, I will use point slope form to determine a parallel line.

2) The formula for the point slope form is the following:

y - y1 = m (x - x1)

The m represents the slope and (x1,y1) represents an ordered pair either located on a graph or given.

3) Since ordered pairs have not been given, you do not need to insert anything in the x1 and y1 spaces.

4) y = 12 (x)

12 * x = 12x

To conclude, y = 12x represents a line parallel to 12.
