Answer:

y = 3x - 6

Explanation:

2y = 6x + 4

y = 3x + 2

Slope = 3

y = 3x + c

6 = 3(4) + c

c = 6 - 12

c = -6

y = 3x - 6

Answer:

y = 3x-6

Explanation:

First we need to find the slope of the line

2y-6x=4

Solve for y

Add 6x to each side

2y-6x+6x=4+6x

2y = 6x+4

Divide each side by 2

2y/2 =6x/2 +4/2

y = 3x +2

The slope is 3

We want a line parallel, so it will have the same slope

We have a slope and a point

y = 3m+b

Substitute in the point

6 = 3(4)+b

6 =12+b

Subtract 12 from each side

6-12 = 12-12+b

-6 =b

y = 3x-6
