Explanation
Correct answer: 24.
A line in the xy-plane can be defined by the equation , where is the slope of the line and is the y-coordinate of the y-intercept of the line. It's given that line passes through the point . Therefore, the y-coordinate of the y-intercept of line is . It's given that line is parallel to the line represented by the equation . Since parallel lines have the same slope, it follows that the slope of line is . Therefore, line can be defined by an equation in the form , where and . Substituting for and for in yields the equation , or . If line passes through the point , then when , for the equation . Substituting for and for in the equation yields , or .
