Viki makes a shade of green icing for her cake by using 3 drops of yellow food coloring for every 4 drops of blue food coloring. if viki uses 12 drops of yellow food coloring for her icing, how many drops of blue food coloring would she need to use to make the same shade of green?

the equation of the parallel line would be y = 2x + 9

step-by-step explanation:

to start we need to find the slope of the original line. we can do that by looking at the coefficient of x, which is 2

since the slope of the original line is 2 and parallel lines have the same slope, we know the new line will also have 2 slope. now we can use that along with the point given in point-slope form to get the find equation.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 5 = 2(x + 2)

y - 5 = 2x + 4

y = 2x + 9
