Lines that are parallel have the same slope have so the slope of the line in -3, now we have to find the y-intercept, we can do this by substituting -2 for x and 9 for y and solve for b
9 = -3(-2) +b
9 = 6 + b
b = 3
So the line that is parallel to y = -3x -8 and goers through the point (-2,9) is y = -3x + 3 or answer C
Since the line is parallel, it has the same slope. Plug the point you have into the equation y - y1 = slope (x -x1) to get your answer, which should be y = -3x +3
Hopefully this helps - let me know if you have any questions!
