\n" ); document.write( "-9 y = -8 x + 4 0.89
\n" ); document.write( "Divide by -9
\n" ); document.write( " y = 0.89 x + -0.44
\n" ); document.write( "Compare this equation with y=mx+b
\n" ); document.write( "slope m = 0.89
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "The slope of a line parallel to the above line will be the same
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "The slope of the required line will be 0.89
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "m= 0.89 ,point (-3,6)
\n" ); document.write( "Find b by plugging the values of m & the point in
\n" ); document.write( "y=mx+b
\n" ); document.write( "6=-2.67+b
\n" ); document.write( "b=8.67
\n" ); document.write( "m=0.89
\n" ); document.write( "Plug value of the slope and b
\n" ); document.write( "The required equation is y=0.89 x+8.67
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
