What is an equation of the line that is parallel to y=9−5x and passes through (0, 8) ?

enter your equation in the box.

The answer is:

If we want to find an equation of a line parallel to the given line, we must remember that parallel lines has the same slope.

So,

Line equation is:

Where:

So, we are given the function:

Where:

m=-5

Also, we are given the point where the line passes through (0,8), we can use it to find "b"

So, the equation will be:

To prove if we are right, let's substitute (0,8):

Have a nice day!
