Two lines that are parallel must have the same slope.
.
First, determine the slope of:
8x + 2y = 6
Do this by converting it to the "slope-intercept" form of:
y = mx + b
where
m is the slope
b is the y-intercept
.
8x + 2y = 6
2y = -8x + 6
y = -2x + 3
slope is -2
Which is also your answer.

What is the slope a line that is parallel to 8x + 2y = 6

8x + 2y = 6

2y = - 8x + 6

y =

y =

Therefore, slope of the line parallel to 8x + 2y = 6 has a similar slope, which is
