Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
add 
to both sides
add 
to both sides
divide both sides by 
You just divide 15 by 3 and that equals 5
Answer:
the second one
Step-by-step explanation:
A parallel line has the same slope as the original line. So in this case the slope of the line is also 3/4. Now how do we know if it intersects the point? We need to adjust the y intercept.
Currently, we know the equation of the line is y= 3/4 x + b, where b is the thing we are looking for. We also have a point, which supplies the x and y. Plug that in and solve for b
-2 = (3/4)*(12) + b
You'll get b= -11
So the equation of the parallel line intersecting the point given is y= 3/4x -11.
I am assuming that the slope is 3/4 based on the way you formatted the original equation, but it's the same steps if the slope is different.
Y = 4x - 7 is a line with a slope of 4 and y-intercept of -7.
plug in any X value, for example 1 and you get the following
y = 4(1) - 7
y = -3
(1,-3) is a point that satisfies the equation y = 4x - 7
