Answer: 4/5

Step-by-step explanation: For a line to be parallel to another line there must be two conditions true.

Condition 1: Both lines must have the same slope (i.e the same x in the form y = mx + b)

Condition 2: Both lines must have different y-intercepts (i.e different b in the form y = mx + b)

Thus, if you are looking for the slope of the line parallel to y = 4/5x - 3, we can look at condition 1, and see that the slope should also be 4/5 for the other line.

X miles per hour - speed of the boat in still water
(x - 2) - speed up the river
(x + 2) - speed down the river

$\frac{30}{x - 2}$ = $\frac{38}{x + 2}$
30 * (x + 2) = 38 * (x - 2)
30x + 60 = 38x - 76
- 8x = - 136
x = 17 miles per hour - the speed of the boat in still water.
