Answer:
y = 1/3x + 4 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
2x - 6y = 12
First find the slope
Solve for y
Subtract 2x
2x - 6y -2x= 12-2x
-6y = -2x+12
Divide by -6
-6y/-6 =-2x/-6 +12/-6
y = 1/3 x -2
The slope is 1/3
Parallel lines have the same slope
Using the slope intercept form y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept
y = 1/3x +b
And substituting in the point
4 = 1/3 (-1) +b
4 = -1/3 +b
Add 1/3 to each side
4 + 1/3 = b
y = 1/3x + 4 1/3
