Answer:

The equation is        y = - 1/2 x+7

Step-by-step explanation:

2 x  + 4y = 6  

4y = -2 x +6  

Divide both sides  by 4  

y = - 1/2 x + 3/2  

y=mx+b  

slope m = - 1/2  

The slope of a line parallel to another  line will be the same  

The slope of the required line will be - 1/2  

m= - 1/2 ,point ( 6 , 4 )

Plugging the values of m  and  the point in  

y=mx+b  

4 = -3 + b  

b= 7  

m= - 1/2  

Plug values   y = mx +b  

y = - 1/2 x+7
