<h3>Answer: 8/5</h3>

Any two parallel lines always have the same slope (but different y intercepts)

The equation of the green line is y = (8/5)x+6

The equation of the red line is y = (8/5)x-3

Slope intercept form is y = mx+b with m as the slope and b as the y intercept.

The slopes must be the same so that each time the line goes up some amount, we move to the right the same amount. Think of a set of stairs to possibly visualize what I mean. If the slopes are different (even slightly), then the lines will intersect at some point and we wouldn't have parallel lines.

Paige lives 3 miles east of her school. Diego lives 8 miles wes of the school. Which expression represents the distance, in mile

True [87]

Answer: |3-(-8)|

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Paige lives 3 miles east of her school. Diego lives 8 miles west of the school.

From the picture , the number line represents the position of the houses of the two friends such that position of Paige is 3 but position of Diego is (-8) [since east and west are opposite directions]

We know that, Distance between any two points from A to B= B-A

Since distance is a positive quantity, thus

The distance between them = $|3-(-8)|$ miles=11 miles
