Which function is parallel to the line y = 17x-8?

Let’s define the graph of which function runs parallel to the straight line y = 17 * x – 8 and passes through the point with the coordinate (3; 1).

Y = k * x + b;
y = 17 * x – 8;

The parallelism condition is k1 = k2.
y = 17 * x + b;
1 = 17 * 3 + b;

1 = 51 + b;
b = 1-51;

b = – 50;

That is, we got, y = 17 * x – 50;

Answer: y = 17 * x – 50.
