Question

Which equation is parallel to
y =2/3x – 6 and passes through (9, -3)?

Answer 1

Y=2/3x-9

Explanation:

Y=mx+c

y=2/3x+c

Then substitute the coordinates

y=-3

x=9

-3=2/3*(9)+c

-3=6+c

Make c the subject by subtracting 6 from both sides.

-9=c

so the answer is

Y=2/3x-9

Answer 2

y=2/3x -3

Explanation:

y=mx+c

If the gradient(m) is the same then it's parallel.

The line passes through -3 so the y intercept(c) is -3
