Aline passes through the points (2, -3) and (b, 7) is parallel to the line y=-2x + 17. find the value of b.

For the lines to be parallel, the slope must be the same

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

(7- (-3)) / (b-2) = -2

-2 (b-2) = 10

-2b + 4 = 10

-2b = 6

b = -3

step-by-step explanation:

pleaze mark brainliest!

the entire expression should be subtracted from 30. to subtract the quantity, distribute the negative sign, which changes the signs on the terms. so, the –2 changes to positive and gets added to 30 instead of subtracted from it.

hope this ! ^w^
