Answer:

y = 4x (? See parentheses in explanation)

Explanation:

First, change this equation to slope-intercept form.

  1. 8x + 2y = 12
  2. 2y = 8x +12
  3. y = 4x + 6

Then, look at the slope and that is the slope of the parallel line.

(I don't know if the line is supposed to pass through a specific point, but if it does, then use point-slope form.)
