The equation of the line is expressed as
- y/2 = 6x + 10
The equation of a line in the slope intercept form is expressed as
y = mx + c
Where
m represents slope
c represents y intercept
From the given equation,we would multiply both sides by 2. it becomes
-2y/2 = 6x * 2 + 10 * 2
- y = 12x + 20
Multiplying both sides by - 1, it becomes
- y * - 1 = 12x * - 1 + 20 * - 1
y = - 12x - 20
Comparing with the slope intercept form,
slope = - 12
If two lines are parallel, it means that they have equal slope. Therefore, the value of m for which the lines will be parallel is
A: -12
