Step 1  The given line equation is  y=−95x−8  The slope intercept form of a linear equation is:  y=mx+b  where  m- is the slope  b- is the y-intercept value. Comparing the given equation with the slope intercept form, we get:  m=−95  Step 2  The parallel line equations has the same slope. So, using the same slope, the parallel equation with the point (2, -3) is:  (x1,y1)=(2,−3)  y−y1=m(x−x1)  y−(−3)=−95(x−2)  y+3=−95(x−2)  y=−95x+2⋅95−3  y=−95x+35  The parallel equation W is y=−95x+35.
