A line passes through the point (–3, –4) and its y-intercept is (0, –9). What is the equation of the line that is parallel to the first line and passes through

Question

A.
B.
C.
D.

Answer 1

find the slope of the line

 

(-9-(-4))/(0-(-3))= -5/3 = m , the slope

 

but the equation of the line is y = mx + b, where b is the y intercept.

So the equation of the line that goes through these two points is  y = -(5/3)x -9

 

None of these answers appears correct
