You can put this solution on YOUR website! Write an equation in slope-intercept form of the line satisfying the given conditions. The line passes through (9, -5) and is parallel to the line whose equation is y=3x + 4. Type the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line.
--------
The given line has slope = 3
----
Equation Form: y = mx + b
---
Substitute for y,x,m and solve for "b":
-5 = 3*9 + b
b = -32
--------
Equation:
y = 3x - 32
