Answer:
y = 2x + 1.
Step-by-step explanation:
The line j is y = 2x - 8. Comparing this with the standard form of a straight line y = mx + c we see that m (the slope) = 2.
The line k is parallel to j so it has the same slope.
Using the point-slope for of a straight line we can ow find the equation of the line k.
y - y1 = m(x - x1) where m = slope and (x1, y1) is a point on the line, so
y - (-9) = 2(x - (-5))
y + 9 = 2(x + 5)
y + 9 = 2x + 10
y = 2x + 1 (answer).
