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

what are some properties the equations of parallel lines ?

Answer 2

the slope of y=x+9 is 1
use general form
y-y1 = m(x-x1)
m = slope = 1 , x1=-2, y1=-3
y+3 = x+ 2
rearrange to get your desired equation

Answer 3

a) x - y = 1
b) x + y = 1
c) x - y = -5
d) x + y = 5

Answer 4

a
