Answer:
y = Five-sixths x – 12
Step-by-step explanation:
In the picture attached, the given line is shown. Its slope is:
m = [6 - (-4)]/[12 - 0] = 5/6
The line that is parallel to the given line has the same slope.
A line with slope m that pass through (x1, y1) satisfies:
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
Replacing with m = 5/6 and point (12, -2):
y - (-2) = 5/6(x - 12)
y + 2 = 5/6x - 10
y = 5/6x - 10 - 2
y = 5/6x - 12
