Alright so what you are looking for is the b of the y=mxb
OpenStudy (mathwizzard3):
What do you think it mean when it says the slopes are parallel?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
same lines
equal
OpenStudy (mathwizzard3):
Yup, and out of y=mx+b what is the slope?

If you don't know you can say so.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i don't know bro =(
OpenStudy (mathwizzard3):
It's the m in the equation. So, it is saying that the slope is the same as the other equation. If it was perpendicular it would be the opposite reciprocal.
OpenStudy (mathwizzard3):
Now, what do you think you are going to do with those points they give you?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
1/2 are the first numbers i plug

OpenStudy (mathwizzard3):
