Question

Write an equation for the line that is parallel to the given line and that passes through the given point.

Answer 1

Paralell means has same slope
y=mx+b
m=slope

given
y=3/4x-9
sloe is 3/4


y=3/4x+b
find b
given point (-8,-18)
sub
x=-8 and y=-18

-18=3/4(-8)+b
-18=-6+b
add 6
-12=b

y=3/4x-12 is equation
