Answer provided by our tutors
The line goes through (-9, -9) and is parallel to -x + 9y = 45.
First we will find the slope of the line -x + 9y = 45.
-x + 9y = 45
solving for y we get
y = 5 + (1/9)x
The slope is k = 1/9.
Now we need to find equation of a line with slope k = 1/9 going through (-9, -9).
y = (1/9)x + b, where b is y intercept
Plug (-9. -9) into the equation y = (1/9)x + b:
(1/9)*(-9) + b = - 9
-1 + b = - 9
b = -9 + 1
b = -8
The slope-intercept form of the line is:
y = (1/9)x - 8
