Answer:

y=9x-2

Explanation:

So, the zero value is -2 (in terms of y) so the coordinates would be (0,-2) But if a line is parallel to another line, it has the same slope as the other.

Therefore, the equation is

y=9x-2

Answer:

y = 9x - 2

Explanation:

Parallel Lines: Parallel lines have the same slope but different y - intercepts

Line: Written in y = mx + b

  • y = output
  • x = input
  • m = slope
  • b = y - intercept

Solve:

  • The slope of the new line is 9 because they are parallel
  • The y - intercept is -2, it is given

Our new equation is:

  • y = mx + b
  • (Slope of 9) y = 9x + b
  • (y - intercept is -2) y = 9x - 2

y = 9x - 2
