Answer:

y = -3x -27

Explanation:

Parallel lines have the same slope. So the slope will be -3

We need to solve for the y-intercept. Us the x and y values from the point (-6,-9) to find the y-intercept

m = -3 given

y = -9 from the point( -6,-9)

x = -6 from the point (-6,-9)

y = mx + b substitute in what you know and solve for b

-9 = (-3) (-6) + b

-9 = 18 + b Subtract 18 from both sides

-9 -18 = 18 - 18 +b

-27 = b

The equation of the line is y = -3x -27
