Answer:

y = 3x + 9

Explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = 3x + 7 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = 3

• Parallel lines have equal slopes , then

y = 3x + c ← is the partial equation

to find c substitute (- 6, - 9 ) into the partial equation

- 9 = - 18 + c ⇒ c = - 9 + 18 = 9

y = 3x + 9 ← equation of parallel line
