If we have 2 more blue pens than black pens, our blue pens can be rewritten as blue = 2 + black. Now we can set up an equation. Originally this equation would involve both blue and black, but since we only have 1 equation to set up, we can only have 1 unknown. That's why we base the number of blue pens on the number of black pens and do a substitution. So instead of blue + black = 94, we have (black + 2) + black = 94. That simplifies to 2 black + 2 = 94, and 2 black = 92. Now if we divide by 2, we get that the number of black pens is 46. If we have 2 more blue than black, the number of blue pens we have is 48. 46 + 48 = 94, so there you go!

Parallel to y = 3/4x - 9 and passes through (-8, -18)
Identify the slope : our slope is 3/4
Remember that parallel equations have the same slope, so both slopes are 3/4
Now, we have to find the y-intercept. Simply plug everything into the slope intercept form equation.
y = mx + b
(-18) = (3/4)(-8) + b
Simplify.
-18 = -6 + b
Add 6 to both sides.
-18 + 6 = b
Therefore, our y-intercept is -12.
Now plug everything into the slope intercept form.
y = mx + b
y = 3/4x - 12

EXPLANATION: By definition two lines are said to be parallel when the distance between two lines is same when measured from any point on one line.
However the criteria for intersection is that the distance between two lines should change and eventually should change to zero at intersection point.
Step-by-step explanation:
.
Equation: y = 8x - 1
Compare it with, y = mx + b
Slope, m = 8
Now, parallel line must have equal slope, = 8
We know, y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - 2 = 8(x + 6)
Hope this helps!
