nope.

9x+3y = -22 has slope -3

better review how to find the slope.
Write your equation in explicit form:

y = m x + n

where:

m is the slope of the line

n is the y intercept

9 x + 3 y = - 22 Subtract 9 x to both sides

9 x + 3 y - 9 x = - 22 - 9 x

3 y = - 9 x - 22 Divide both sides by 3

y = - 9 x / 3 - 22 / 3

y = - 3 x - 22 / 3

Parallel lines have the same slope m

In this case m = - 3

Line with slope m = - 3 is:

y = - 3 x + 8

So:

9 x + 3 y = - 22 and y = - 3 x + 8

are parallel lines
