-18a+17b is the answer because you multiply by -1 to each

The minus sign outside of the parentheses can actually be represented with -1 instead.

this means that you must distribute (multiply) -1 by the numbers inside of the parentheses.

keep in mind that when you multiply the -1 by the 2nd number inside, and the operation is subtract, instead of 17b, it would be -17b.

-1 • 18a = -18a
-1 • -17b = -17b

the final answer would be -18a + 17b :)

$y=\frac{1}{2}x+3 \parallel y=mx+b$

Two lines are parallel when their slopes are the same.
$m=\frac{1}{2} \\ y=\frac{1}{2}x+b \\ \\ (2,5) \\ x=2 \\ y=5 \\ \Downarrow \\
5=\frac{1}{2} \times 2 + b \\ 5=1+b \\ b=4 \\ \\ \boxed{y=\frac{1}{2}x+4}
