#color(Red)(Note#: Please verify the Question. It may be #y - 4x = 6# or #y - 4 = 6x#*

Assuming your question is correct, here is the Solution:

2 parallel lines have the SAME slope/inclination

To get the Slope of #y - 4 = 6#, we simply write it using the Slope Intercept Form

The Slope Intercept form of the equation is written as #y = mx + c#
where #m# is the Slope and #c# is the Y intercept

#y - 4 = 6#

#y = 6 + 4#

#y = 10#

#y = 0*x + 10#

The Slope of the line with the equation #y - 4 = 6# is zero. Hence the Slope of the line parallel to this one will also be #color(green)(zero#.
