You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The slope of y = x + 9 is 1.
\n" ); document.write( "parallel lines have the same slope.
\n" ); document.write( "so the line you are looking for has a slope of 1.
\n" ); document.write( "y = x + b
\n" ); document.write( "to find b plug in the point they have given you.
\n" ); document.write( "-2 = 6 + b
\n" ); document.write( "-8 = b
\n" ); document.write( "Your final answer is y = x - 8 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
