Answer:
y = (4/3)x − 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Rewrite in slope-intercept form.
The slope-intercept form is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is they-intercept.
y = mx + b
Subtract 4x from both sides of the equation.
−3y = 8 − 4x
Divide each term by −3 and simplify.
Divide each term in −3y = 8 − 4x by −3.
(−3y/−3)= (8/−3) + (−4x/−3)
Cancel the common factor of −3.
y= (8/−3) + (−4x/−3)
Simplify (8/−3) + (−4x/−3)
y= (4x/3 - 8/3)
Reorder terms.
y= 4x/3 - 8/3
Using the slope-intercept form, the slope is 4/3
m = 4/3
To find an equation that is parallel, the slopes must be equal. Find the parallel line using the point-slope formula.
Use the slope 4/3 and a given point (6, −2) to substitute for and
in the point-slope form.

y − (−2) = (4/3) ⋅ (x − (6))
Simplify the equation and keep it in point-slope form.
y − (−2) = (4/3) ⋅ (x − (6))
solve for y
y = (4/3)x − 10
