Answer:
y = -2/9x - 7/9
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Move x to the other side (-2x from both sides)
9y = -2x + 27
2. Divide by 9 to isolate y
y = -2/9x + 3
3. substitute the point in (the slope is the same in parallel lines)
1 = -2/9(-8) + b
4. solve for b
9/9 = 16/9 + b
-7/9 = b
5. substitute in for your answer
y = -2/9 - 7/9
