For two lines to be parallel, they must have the same slope...
3y=-5x+15
y=-5x/3 +5, y=mx+b, where m=slope so:
A parallel line with have a slope of -5/3

Answer:
613 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
1)
cos(50 degrees)=324/x
x*cos(50 degrees)=324
x=324/cos(50 degrees)
x=around 504.1
2)
cos(35 degrees)=324/x
x*cos(35 degrees)=324
x=324/cos(35 degrees)
x=around 395.5
now lets find the distance in between the two people:
Distance from Shively to the tower
tan(50 degrees)=x/324
x=324*tan(50 degrees)
x= around 386.1
Distance from Sparzak to the tower
tan(35 degrees)=x/324
x=324*tan(35 degrees)
x=around 226.9
total distance=386.1+226.9=613 meters
When stone hits the ground, it's height will be zero, and since we're finding the time that's required for the stone to hit the ground, we can set h = 0 and solve for t.
