Using -A/B the slope of the given line is -1/2.

Using point-slope,

y-5 = (-1/2)(x+6)

y-5 = (-1/2)x - 3

y = (-1/2)x + 2

x+2y=6 can be rewritten as:

y = (-1/2)x+3.

Its slope is -1/2. All parallel lines have the same slope.

Slope-intercept form is y = mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

so we have y = (-1/2)x+b. When x = -6, y = 5 so we have

5 = (-1/2)(-6)+b
or
5 = 3+b or b = 2.

Therefore the line you are looking for is y = (-1/2)x+2.

If it is parallel, it has the same slope, and since the slope of the equation is 1, then the slope of the new line is 1

first u wanna change that general form eqation form to slopintercept form.

x+2y=6
-x -x
---------------------
2y=6-x
/2 /2
----------------------
y=3- .5x
