Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Okay, to do this we must understand what parallel means.
parallel means that that one line will NEVER touch the other. In order for this to happen they must be increasing (or decreasing) by the SAME rate. I.e the slope of your line must be the same as the lin in question thus our equation looks like,
.
Now lets find .
To do this, plug the point (3,6) into the equation
6=4(3)+C
6=12+C
-6=C
Thus now that we know C, our equaiton is
