Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

since they are parallel, they should have the same gradient

the gradient for first line is:

[tex]\frac{9-3}{1-2}=\frac{6}{-1} =-6[/tex]

so gradient for second line is also -6

[tex]\frac{y-4}{3-5}=-6[/tex]

[tex]\frac{y-4}{-2}=-6[/tex]

y-4 = -6×-2

y-4 = 12

y=12+4=16

check: [tex]\frac{16-4}{3-5}=\frac{12}{-2}=-6[/tex]
