Parallel lines have the same slope, so if you need a line parallel to this one, it'll share a slope of (7/4). for future reference, perpendicular lines have opposite reciprocal slopes. you change the sign, then flip the fraction. -2 would become 1/2; as slopes, these would be perpendicular lines.
Answer:
y = 5/3
x = 8/3
Steps:
y = x - 1
2x + y = 7
Substitute y = x-1
(2x + x - 1 = 7)
Simplify: 3x - 1 = 7
Isolate x: 3x - 1 = 7: x=8/3
Plug the valuse of x into the other equation (y = x- 1): y = 8/3 - 1
8/3 - 1 = 5/3
y = 5/3
y = 5/3, x = 8/3
