Answer:
the second choice is correct
Explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
y =
x - 9 is in this form
with slope m =
• Parallel lines have equal slopes, hence
y =
x + c ← is the partial equation of the parallel line
To find c substitute (- 8, - 18) into the partial equation
- 18 = - 6 + c ⇒ c = - 18 + 6 = - 12
y =
x - 12 ← equation of parallel line
