What would be the slope an equation that is parallel to?$$y = \frac{ 3 }{ 4 }x - 9$$

anonymous · Answer

The slope would be the same

anonymous · Answer

Because you already have the slope and a point, you can substitute the values of y=mx+b,
with the slope and y and x values given.

Therefore, 
y=mx+b
-18=(3/4)(-8)+b
-18=-6+b
 +6  +6
-----------
-12=b

anonymous · Answer

That would mean the equation is 
$$y=\frac{ 3 }{ 4 }x-12$$

anonymous · Answer

The answer is D!
