The equation for line k can be written as y = 1/6 x + 10 . Parallel to line k is line l, which passes through the point (6, –8). What is the equation of line l?

Answer 1

y=(1/6)x + b where b = the y intercept. plug in y=-8 and x=6 to find b

-8 = 6/6 + b

b = -9

y= x/6 -9 is the equation of a parallel line that goes through (6,-8)
