Answer:
Juan wins the race
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>The graph is shown in attached image.</u>
<u />
The black line is Juan's graph.
The green line is Antonio's graph.
The graph shows the distance (y-axis) with time (x-axis).
The end of the curve(s) means the end of the race. Both curve's ending point in y-axis is 4 miles so the end of the race is 4 miles.
But in x-axis, we see the time:
Juan finishes at 13 minutes
Antonio finishes at 15 minutes
<u>Definitely Juan wins the race</u>

First, we need to make the equation given to be in the form;
y=mx + b
where m is the slope and b is the intercept
8y - 3x = -8
Add 2x to both-side of the equation
8y = 3x - 8
Divide through the equation by 8
y = 3/8 x -1
comparing the above with y =mx + b
m = 3/8
slope of parallel equations are equal
From the options given the only equation with slope 3/8 is;
y= 3/8 x + 8
The above equation of the line is parallel to 8y - 3x = -8
