Answer:
I'll do #17 as an example of how to do the others. #15 doesn't make sense. What is "= ≤⁄x?"
Explanation:
17. (-3, 2); y=-4
y=4 is a horizontal line, where all values of y are 4, regardless of x. A horizontal line has a slope of 0. [Y does not depend on x].
That leaves us with y =0x + b
For this line to go through point (-3,2), it would have to have a y-intercept (b) of 2 [b is the value of y when x=0]. Since y=0 regardless of x, b must be 2.
The parallel line that goes through (-3,2) is:
y = 0*x + 2, or
y = 2
