Parallel to y = 3/4x - 9 and passes through (-8, -18)
Identify the slope : our slope is 3/4
Remember that parallel equations have the same slope, so both slopes are 3/4
Now, we have to find the y-intercept. Simply plug everything into the slope intercept form equation.
y = mx + b
(-18) = (3/4)(-8) + b
Simplify.
-18 = -6 + b
Add 6 to both sides.
-18 + 6 = b
Therefore, our y-intercept is -12.
Now plug everything into the slope intercept form.
y = mx + b
y = 3/4x - 12
