Question

Write an equation for a line through (9, -11) that is parallel to the line y = - 23 x + 4

Answer 1

Answer:

y = -23x + 196

Step-by-step explanation:

Let equation of the line be y = mx + c

since it is parallel to line y = -23x + 4,

their slope/gradient will be the same (aka m = -23)

sub (9, -11):

-11 = -23(9) + c

c = 196

therefore, equation of the line is y = -23x + 196
