The Minor scale formula is:    
whole step, half step, whole step, whole step, half step, whole step, whole step.                    

A Relative Minor scale is always built from the sixth note of a Major scale.

Example #1:  C Major scale:        C W D W E H F W G W A W B H C.
A Relative Minor:                                                              A W B H C W D W E H F W G W A.   

Example #2:   G Major scale:       G W A W B H C W D W E W F# H G.                
A Relative Minor:                                                               E W F# H G W A W B H C W D W E.


Rule of Thumb: When locating the Relative Minor, always remember it is the sixth note of the Major scale.  A quick way to think of it is,  three notes backwards from your octave note.
Example #1:   C H B W A.
Example #2:   G H F# W E.

So when remembering these formula’s, think of it as this:
Major Scale Formula  =  2 wholes - 1 half, 3 wholes - 1half.
Minor Scale Formula  =  1 whole  - 1 half, 2 wholes - 1 half, 2 wholes.
