Recalling Parallel Slope Properties in Infrastructure Planning

A logistics engineer is designing a new conveyor belt path that must be perfectly parallel to an existing belt modeled by the equation y=12x3y = \frac{1}{2}x - 3. The new path must pass through a junction at the coordinates (6,4)(6, 4). Identify the slope (mm) that must be used for the new path's equation and state the geometric property of parallel lines that justifies this choice.
