Answer:

Blue line: either y=1/4x+1, y=1/5x+1, or y=1/6x+1 (depending on how u see where it intercepts in the x-axis.

Black line: either y=1/4x-10, y=1/5x-10, or y=1/6x-10 (depending on how u see where it intercepts in the x-axis.

Explanation:

Well because they don't have the numbers it's hard to tell. But they will have the same slope which makes them parallel. So the Y intecept for the blue line would be 1 if it's how it's shown. Then the slope would be one over 4,5 or 6. Then again I cannot see numbers there so... anyways, the equation for the blue line would be about y=1/5x+1. For the black line, I think it intercepts on the -10 for the Y. So if the slope is the same so that they can be parallel then it would be y=1/5x-10. (WARNING: This answer might change if they give you the numbers of the actual line. THIS IS JUST AN ESTIMATE!! THEY ARE POSSIBLE ONES!!!!!) But remember when lines are parallel they have the same slope but different Y-intercept! Hope this helped a bit... ask me if u have any questions.

cause y=mx+b (m is the slope which is rise over run) (b is the y-intercept)
