Parallel to 2x+4y=6 and passing through(6,4)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2 x 4 y = 6
\n" ); document.write( "Find the slope of this line
\n" ); document.write( "make y the subject
\n" ); document.write( "4 y = -2 x + 6
\n" ); document.write( "Divide by 4
\n" ); document.write( " y = - 1/2 x + 3/2
\n" ); document.write( "Compare this equation with y=mx+b
\n" ); document.write( "slope m = - 1/2
\n" ); document.write( "The slope of a line parallel to the above line will be the same
\n" ); document.write( "The slope of the required line will be - 1/2
\n" ); document.write( "m= - 1/2 ,point ( 6 , 4 )
\n" ); document.write( "Find b by plugging the values of m & the point in
\n" ); document.write( "y=mx+b
\n" ); document.write( "4 = -3 + b
\n" ); document.write( "b= 7
\n" ); document.write( "m= - 1/2
\n" ); document.write( "Plug value of the slope and b in y = mx +b
\n" ); document.write( "The required equation is y = - 1/2 x + 7
