from the equation y=20x - 47


\begin{gathered} \text{the gradient m}_1=\text{ 20 ( coeffeicient of x)} \\ \sin ce\text{ the lines are parallel} \\ m_1=m_2_{} \end{gathered}

where m2 is the gradient of the second line

given two points (2, -4) on the line


\begin{gathered} y\text{ = mx + c} \\ y=\text{ -4, x = 2, m =20} \\ \text{substitute to obtain the intercept c} \end{gathered}
undefined
