Answer:
a) 2/3
b)[tex]y = \frac{2}{3} x + 5[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
b) From my previous answer...
Since parallel lines have the same gradient,
the gradient of the line is 2/3 too.
Thus, m= 2/3.
y= 2/3x +c
Now substitute a coordinate into the equation to find c, the y-intercept.
When x=6, y=9,
9= (2/3)(6) +c
9= 4 +c
c= 9 -4
c= 5
Thus the equation of the line is y= 2/3x +5.
