So the other guy has the right work but at the end he messed up. The real answer is 10 miles.

It takes 40 minutes more going up or 40/60 = 0.67 hours more.

Let us say that:

t = the time required for him running down

t + 0.67 = time required for him running up

 

Since the distance of running up and down must be equal therefore:

(3 miles / hr) * (t + 0.67) = (5 miles / h) * t

3 t + 2.01 = 5 t

2 t = 2.01

t = 1.005 hr

 

So the total length of the hike is:

length = 2 * (5 miles / hr) * (1.005 hr)

<span>length = 10.05 miles</span>

What is the equation of the line that is parallel to the line 5x + 2y = 12 and passes through the point (-2, 4)?
Aneli [31]

Answer: 5x + 2y = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Change 5x+2y=12 to slope intercept: 2y = 12 - 5x, y = -5x/2 + 6

A parallel line has the same slope, so the line we try to find is y = -5x/2 + b.

Substitute (-2, 4) in and get 4=5+b, so b = -1.

Therefore the answer is y = -5x/2 - 1, or if you want it in the original form it would be 2y = -5x - 2 ---> 5x+2y = -2.

Hope that helped,
