The first thing you should know is how is the function y = 9
The function y = 9 is a straight line whose slope is equal to zero. That is, it is a horizontal line whose domain goes from less infinity to infinity.
A parallel line to this is:
y = -8
The domain of this function also goes from minus infinity to infitio, therefore, for the point (3, -8)
Answer:
The equation of a line that is parallel to {y = 9} and that passes through the point {(3, -8)} is:
y = -8
