Hi

Using the standard slope-intercept form for an equation of a line y = mx + b

  where m is the slope and b the y-intercept.  

Line Parallel Parallel to 2x-y=6   and passes through (-6,-9)

2x-y=6 OR y = 2x-6 ( m = 2)

NEw Line: parallel Lines have identical slopes

 y = 2x + b   |Using ordered pair (-6,-9) to solve for b

-9 = 2*-6 + b

 3 = b 

  y = 2x + 3
