Question 846118
Write an equation for the line that is parallel to the given line and that passes through the given point. 
y=(3/4)x-9; (-8, -18) 
***
Standard form of an equation for a line: y=mx+b, m=slope, b=y-intercept (this is called the slope-intercept form)
For given equation: 
y=(3/4)x-9
slope,m=3/4
..
For equation that passes through the given point(-8,-18)
slope,m=3/4 (lines parallel to each other have the same slope)
..
solve for b using given points(-8,-18)
y=mx+b
y=3x/4+b
sub given points:
-18=3*(-8)/4+b
-18=-24/4+b
-18=-6+b
b=-12
equation:y=(3/4)x-12
