You can put this solution on YOUR website!
y = -2/3x + 2
\n" ); document.write( "Gradient = -2/3 (Slope)also given letter 'm'
\n" ); document.write( "Lines that are parallel
\n" ); document.write( "have the same gradient
\n" ); document.write( "m1 = m2
\n" ); document.write( "Using equation:
\n" ); document.write( "y - b = m(x - a)
\n" ); document.write( "a = 9, b = -3 and m = -2/3
\n" ); document.write( "y - (-3) = -2/3(x - 9)
\n" ); document.write( "y + 3 = -2/3x + 6
\n" ); document.write( "y = -2/3x + 6 - 3
\n" ); document.write( "y = -2/3x + 3
\n" ); document.write( "Or you can multiply thro by 3
\n" ); document.write( "3y = -2x + 9
\n" ); document.write( "Depends on how your teacher wants you to give
\n" ); document.write( "the answer.
\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps.
