SOLUTION: find the equation of the line parallel to x = 2y +12, passing thru (0,6)

Question 114699: find the equation of the line parallel to x = 2y +12, passing thru (0,6)
Answer by HyperBrain(694) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The slope intercept form is where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
To be parallel the line must have the same slope.
Transposing x=2y+12 to slope-intercept,

Here,

Now, we must find a line that passes through (0,6) and has a slope of .
Since the line passes through (0,6), we will use x=0 and y=6

--------------i used

Now, we know that b=-3. So,

This is the equation of the line. Proof? Look below!

They are parallel!
