Answer:

16

Explanation:

The segments are parallel when their slopes are the same. The slope of each can be found using the slope formula:

m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)

You want ...

(14 -7)/(20 -15) = (y -2)/(33 -3)

7/5 = (y -2)/10 . . . simplify

14 = y -2 . . . . . . . . multiply by 10

16 = y . . . . . . . . . . add 2

y = 16 will make the segments parallel.
