Question

Find the equation of the line that is parallel to the given line and passes through the given point.

Answer 1

Answer:

y = -6x - 39

Step-by-step explanation:

A parallel line will have the same slope so m= -6, but it will have different points.

So we have y= -6x + b and the points are (8,9)

Substitute that in

9 = -6*-8 + b

9 = 48 + b

subtract 48 on both sides

9-48 = 48 - 48 + b

-39 = b

so equation is

y = -6x -39

Answer 2

Answer:

y=-6x+9

0=-6x+9

6x=9

x=9/3

x=3/2
