Rewrite the equation in the slope intercept form: y = mx + c
Thus:
4x - 8y = 12
8y = 4x - 12
y = 4/8x - 12/8 = 1/2x - 3/2
and then, the gradient is the coefficient of x viz 1/2 or 0.5

Rearranging the original equation, we get y=-(2/3)x+12. Since 12 is the constant, this is the point that the line of this equation will cut the y-axis if x=0. Therefore, -(2/3) is the gradient and for an equation to produce a parallel line, the gradient must be equal. Summing up, y=-(2/3)+c (where c equals any real number) would be parallel
3x-4x=12 that means -x equals 12 so x equals -12
4x+y = 14 will be parallel to the above equation because the slope or gradient remains the same but the y intercept changes.
6 +6 = 12
False, 12 x 12 equals 143!JOKES! It actually equals 144!hehe!
