Question

what is te 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

Any equation of line parallel to y=x + 9 can be given by,

y= x+k-----------A

Now, since the line passes through (-2, -3)... put x=-2 and y=-3 in the equation to get the value of k.. as,

-3 = -2 + k

or, k = -3+2 = -1

Now, put the value of k in the equation A...

y=x -1.... is your required equation....
