To find a parallel line, use the same equation as before, but.. - Change x and y to the coordinates - Make b a variable - The slope stays the same! Since they are parallel they have the same slope.
The equation should look like: 6 = (-2)(-6) + b
Then solve for b 6 = (-2)(-6) + b 6 = -12 + b 18 = b
So, the slope is the same (-2) and the y-intercept is 18.
