Write the equation of a line that is parallel to y=9 and tha passes through the point (3,-8)

y = -8

Explanation:

For two lines to be parallel, they need to have the same slope

Since we need a line parallel to y = 9, y = 9 has a slope of zero

We can use the point-slope formula y = y₁ = m(x - x₁) to help us find the other line

Our (x₁, y₁) point in this case is (3, -8) and we already know our slope m is zero

So plugging in our values to the formula gives us y - (-8) = 0(x - 3) → distributing the negative to the -8 and distributing the zero gives us y + 8 = 0 → then subtracting 8 from both sides give y = -8

in the 1890s, southern states enacted a new form of black codes, called “jim crow” laws. these laws made it illegal for blacks and whites to share public facilities. this meant that blacks and whites had to use separate schools, hospitals, libraries, restaurants, hotels, bathrooms, and drinking fountains.

explanation:

the narrator is a first person, participant one, who describes in the simple past tense important and difficult events in his earlier life. he also provides temporal markers as the month (january) and the time (12: 30 pm). finally the account of his experience is very detailed, to the extent that a participant narrator would talk the same way about his experiences. a good example of such detail is the mention of the “bovril ration” which historically was a native american food adopted by european explorers in arctic and antarctic regions due to its high level of calories.
