Question

Write an equation of the line that passes through (8,9) and is parallel to the line y = -x-2.

An equation of the parallel line is

Answer 1

y - 9 = -1 (x-8)

Explanation:

y - y₁ = m (x - x₁) would be your formula, since it's parallel you already have your slope, -x (which also equals 1 so technically -1). You have a point (8,9) and a slope -1, all you need to do is plug it in the formula.

Hope this helped!!
