.

Any line parallel to  x = -9y - 17 in a coordinate plane, has an equation of the form


    x = -9y + c,  c = const.


Since the requested line should pass through (0,0),   c= 0  and this equation becomes


    x = -9y.


In slope-intercept form, this equation is  y = %28-1%2F9%29x.    ANSWER

Solved.
