Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The general equation of a line is where m is the slope and b the y intercept.
We have the equation of a line: y=-5x+9. Where
And we have to find
Two lines are parallel if the slopes are the same, this means
Then
We have to find the y intercept. We now that the line passes through (0,8) then we have to replace this point in
Then the equation of the line that is parallel to y=9-5x and passes through (0, 8) is
In the graph of the lines where y=-5x+9 is pink and y=-5x+8 is green, you can see that they are parallels:
