Question

What is an equation of the line that is parallel to y=9−5x and passes through (0, 8) ?

Enter your equation in the box. please answer asap.

Answer 1

y = -5x Y8

Explanation:

Parallel lines have the same slope.

Your function is

y = 9 − 5x = -5x+ 9

slope = -5

The parallel line

The line must have slope = -5 and include (0, 8), so

8 = -5×(0) + b

8 = 0 + b

b = 8

The equation for the parallel line is

y = -5x + 8

In the diagram below, the red line is the graph of y = 9 -5x.

The parallel blue line is the graph of y = -5x + 8.
