Answer:
15) y = -3x/4 + 2
17) y = x - 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Parallel lines have the same slope.
15) through (4, -1) parallel to y = 3x/4, the slope is 3/4
Using the point-slope form
y-y1=m(x-x1)
y--1=-3/4(x-4)
y+1=-3x/4 + 3
y = -3x/4 + 2
17) through (-2, -5) parallel to y = x + 3, the slope is 1
same method
Using the point-slope form
y-y1=m(x-x1)
y--5=1(x--2)
y+5=x+2
y = x - 3
