Determining the y-intercept of a line

Medium Data Sufficiency Determining Sufficiency

Consider the equation for a line in slope-intercept form, which is given by y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Let the slope of the line be m. We want to determine the y-intercept b.

Statement (1): The line passes through the point (2, 5).

Statement (2): The line is parallel to the line given by the equation y = 3x + 4.

Statement (1) alone is sufficient, but Statement (2) alone is not sufficient.

Statement (2) alone is sufficient, but Statement (1) alone is not sufficient.

Both statements together are sufficient, but neither statement alone is sufficient.

Each statement alone is sufficient.
