Hi,

parallel to 4x - 2y = 6

4x - 2y = 6

2x - 3 = y 

the standard slope-intercept form for an equation of a line y = mx + b  

where m is the slope and b the y-intercept.  this ex. slope = 2

Line parlel will have the identical slope

y = 2x + b usin gordered pair Pt(1,2) to solve for b

2 = 2 + b 

0 = b

y = 2x
