Question

anonymous · Answer

is there any other information given????

anonymous · Answer

o it just says parallell lines for the first section and the second section says perpendicular lines

I just answered this question in your other post.

anonymous · Answer

may be there is a coordinate of a point given.

The way the problem is worded, you can pick any parallel line you want.

mathstudent55 · Answer

Parallel lines have the same slope. 

The slope-intercept form of the equation of a line is: 

y=mx+b 

where m = slope and b = y-intercept. 

Your line is already written in the slope-intercept form. 
The slope of your line is 3, and the y-intercept is -12. 

A parallel line has the same slope and a different y-intercept. 
To write the equation of a parallel line, just write an equation in the same form in which you keep the same slope and come up with a different y-intercept.
