Question 3. Find an equation for the line parallel to y = x+8 and goes through the point (-9,8).
Write your answer in the form y = mx+b

Y=

Answer 1

It must have the same slope (m = 1) to be parallel.

 

y = 1x + b = x + b

 

Get b from the given point (-9,8)

 

8 = (1)(-9) + b

b = 17

 

Final equation:

 

y = x + 17
