Answer:

y = - 3x - 4

Explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = - 3x + 6 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - 3

Parallel lines have equal slopes.

The line crosses the y- axis at (0, - 4 ) ⇒ c = - 4, thus

y = - 3x - 4 ← equation of parallel line
