Answer:

y = -1/5x + 29/5

Explanation:

Take the slope and leave the y-intercept alone

Now use the point to find a new y-intercept for the parallel line

y = -1/5x + b

4 = -1/5(9) + b

4 = -9/5 + b

b = 4 - (-9/5)

b = 29/5

The equation parallel to y = -1/5x + 23/5 going through the point (9, 4) is y = -1/5x + 29/5
