Answer:

The slope of the parallel line would be 2.

Explanation:

In order to find this you need to solve the original equation for y to get the slope.

-6x + 3y = 18

3y = 6x + 18

y = 2x + 6

This gives us an original slope of 2. Since parallel lines have the same slope, we know the new slope will also be 2.
