Answer:

6x

Explanation:

To find a parallel line, you will need to put everything into the slope intercept form(y=mx+b).

When you do this, you should get -y=-6x+1. You cannot have a negative y, so you will divide everything by -1 to get y=6x-1.

Two lines are parallel when their slope is the same. The slope in this equation is 6.
