\n" ); document.write( "The other tutor misread the original equation, so his answer is not right.

\n" ); document.write( "Any line parallel to the given line with equation $\"-6x-3y+=+-4\"$ will have an equation of the form $\"-6x-3y+=+c\"$ for some constant c.

\n" ); document.write( "To find the constant c, use the fact that the given point must satisfy the equation:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-6%28-3%29-3%282%29+=+18-6+=+12\"$

\n" ); document.write( "An equation of the line you are looking for is
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-6x-3y+=+12\"$

\n" ); document.write( "Solve that equation for y to get slope-intercept form. \n" ); document.write( "
