Answer:

y = x/2 - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to find the slope of the given equation: x - 2y = 8

Subtract x from both sides

x - 2y = 8

- x        - x

-2y = 8 - x

Divide both sides by -2

-2y/-2 = (8 - x)/-2

y = -4 + x/2

The slope of this equation is 1/2

So the equation of our parallel equation is y = x/2 + b

We have to find b, so plug in the given coordinates

-6 = 2/2 + b

-6 = 1 + b

Subtract 1 from both sides

-6 = 1 + b

- 1    - 1

b = -7

Plug it back into the original equation

y = x/2 - 7

saul85 [17]
-2(a-8)+6a=36 \\ \\ -2a + 16 + 6a = 36 \\ \\ 4a + 16 = 36 \\ \\ 4a = 36 - 16 \\ \\ 4a = 20 \\ \\ a =  \frac{20}{4} \\ \\ a = 5 \\ \\

The final result is: a = 5.
