Answer:
6 square units
Step-by-step explanation:
The parallel line has equation ...
y -7 = 2(x -2)
y = 2x + 3
The y-intercept of this one differs from the given line by 3-1 = 2, so that is the length of the "base" of the parallelogram. The "height" is the distance between the parallel lines x=0 and x=3, which is 3-0 = 3. Then the area is ...
A = bh = 2·3 = 6 . . . . square units
