Write the equation of line that is parallel to 6x+y=24. Explain your reasoning
-----
Slope-intercept form of the given line:
y = -6x + 24
--------
slope = -6
=================
Every line parallel to the given line MUST have slope = -6.
One example is y = -6x
EVERY line parallel to the given line must have the form y = -6x+k
k can have any Real Number Value
