Answer:
y=-3x+27
Step-by-step explanation:
If its parallel that means the -3x will stay the same. After you plug (9,0) in as x and y into the equation. So now you have 0=-3(9)+b then solve for b and you get your equation.
Slope = -3
Y intercept = 27
=============================================================
Explanation:
The given line is in the form y = mx+b. Here we have m = -3 as the slope.
Any line parallel to this also has the same slope. Parallel lines have equal slopes but different y intercepts.
The parallel line has slope m = -3.
We want the parallel line to go through (x,y) = (9,0). So x = 9 and y = 0 pair up.
Plug m = -3, x = 9 and y = 0 into the equation below. Solve for b.
y = mx+b
0 = -3(9) + b
0 = -27 + b
27 = b
b = 27
You could also use point slope form
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - 0 = -3(x - 9)
y = -3(x-9)
y = -3x - 3(-9)
y = -3x + 27
and we'd get the same result.
