This must be a trick question. Surely, the answer is not simply 70!

Two linear equations that are parallel with have the sameslope, or the m value in y = mx + b will be the same.For example, y = 3x + 5 is parallel to y = 3x - 6
y = -3x + 7 is an equation which gives us a line parallel to the line y = -3x + 1, or the line -3x - 1. The equation given represents the slope-intercept form of the equation for a line. Slope-intercept takes the form y = mx + b. In this form the the value of m represents the slope of the line, while b represents the Y intercept. All lines with the same slope are parallel (unless they're exactly the same.) So to find a parallel line, we simply adjust the Y intercept to any value other than the one given.

The line 'Y = - 3' has a slope of zero. Any line parallel to it also has a slope of zero. The line parallel to it with a Y-intercept of 7 is: Y = 7
