Answer:

y = 12

Explanation:

y = 8 is the equation of a horizontal line, parallel to the x- axis.

Thus a parallel line will also be horizontal.

The equation of a horizontal line is

y = c

where c is the y- coordinates of the points it passes through.

The line passes through (- 6, 12) with y- coordinate of 12, thus

y = 12 ← equation of parallel line
