Answer:

y + 3 = - 9(x - 2)

Explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = - 9x - 1 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - 9

• Parallel lines have equal slopes

then slope of parallel line is m = - 9

the equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b ) a point on the line

m = - 9 and (a, b ) = (2, - 3 ) , then

y - (- 3) = - 9(x - 2) , that is

y + 3 = - 9(x - 2)
