Question 1044663: I am an adult learner who hasn't studied math in 35 years. I want to know what equation would be parallel and passing through coordinates (2,9)
Answer by josgarithmetic(39617)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Parallel and passing through one point at the same time, meaningless. Infinite lines can pass through one given point. None of these lines is parallel to any of the other lines. Maybe you omitted most of the problem description.
Study Algebra 1. You could do this on your own, and it may take about two or three months. Meanwhile, for the question you asked, give the full problem description.

Better question asked became, what equation is parallel to y=-3 and passing through (2,9) ?
That is a given line and a given point.
The line is horizontal, and the y value is -3 everywhere. x values have no restriction.
Now, you want some ... point, but this point must be part of line parallel to y=-3. Where must this line be? Making a graph of the description will help. DO THIS!
I was beginning to say, the line you want would be some general point, no restriction on x, but now must be at y value of 9. Why? the line you want must contain point (2,9), according to given. This will be some point (x,9).
This general point, (x,9) is the line with equation  .
This is also a horizontal line, with y=9 everywhere.
