What is an equation of the line that passes through the point (-6,-8)(−6,−8) and is parallel to the line x-2y=6x−2y=6?

To find an equation that is parallel, the slopes must be equal. Find the parallel line using the point-slope formula.

Use the slope  

−

1

2

and a given point  

(

0

,

)

to substitute for  

x

1

and  

y

1

in the point-slope form  

y

−

y

=

m

, which is derived from the slope equation  

m

=
