A line, y = mx + b. passes through the point (2, 4) and is parallel to y = 3x - 5. What is the value of b?

B-value = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

In the picture below Orange line represents the line of "y = 3x - 5", since we know that the line passing through the point (2,4) is parallel to the given line, the slope of the line would be 3x as well. To find b-value or y-intercept we have to plot the point on the graph where the line passing through the points (2,4) intersects the y-axis, in this case it's at (0,-2), therefore the b-value = -2.

Hope this helps!
