Parallel lines share the same slope. y=3x+7 has a slope of 3, so that is the slope of the parallel line. Then use y=mx+b an plug in (2,4). y=3x+b 4=3(2)+b 4=6+b b=-2
rs + st = rt Plug in the values 3x + 1 + 2x - 2 = 64 Combine like terms (1 and -2) 3x -1 + 2x = 64 Combine like terms (3x and 2x) -1 + 5x = 64 Add 1 to both sides 5x = 65 Divide both sides by 5 x = 13
