Question

What is the equation of the line in standard form that passes through the point (–2, –3) and is parallel to the line y = x + 9?

Answer 1

As it is parallel to y = x + 9 it will have the same slope, also 1, so you substitute -2 and -3 in the general equation for a line and you get:

-3 = -2 + b, so b = -1

Your line is y = x - 1

Answer 2

standard form is y-x=-1

Answer 3

x – y = 1
x + y = 1
x – y = –5
x + y = –5 are the options

Answer 4

y=x-1 is slope intercept form
