Question

Write the slope-intercept form of an equation of a line parallel to y = -2x - 9 and passing through the point (-2,3).

Answer 1

answer please??

Answer 2

y=mx+b

m=slope
b= y-intercept

y = -2x - 9

What is your slope in this case?

Answer 3

To find an eqn of a line: all you need is a point (-2,3) and a slope.

Plug them in to y=mx+b to find b, the y-intercept.

Now you'll have your slope and y-intercept.

Plug only those into y=mx+b, and there you have it. Your parallel line.
