1. Start with y=sx+m and input the slope of the line given, because the two lines are parallel they have the same slope. Then input the X and Y coordinates of point X to get 10=-1/2-5+m and finally solve the equation to get m=-7.5 or -15/2 making slope intercept form Y=-1/2-5-15/2
2. Follow the same instructions imputing 1/2 in as the slope because it is perpendicular to the line. so you get 10=1/2-5+m. solve to get m=7.5 or 15/2 making the final equation Y=1/2X+15/2
Have the kids answer questions, if correct they get to shoot a small ball into a garbage can for extra points! FUN!

She worked 30 hours per week.
The problem turns out to be the following:
2x+15=3x-15.
First you need to have only one x variable so you subtract the X's:
3x-2x=X
The problem now turns into 15=x-15.
You have to isolate the X so you do x+15. You have to do the same to the other side so 15+15=30, therefore x=30
I solved this problem for you. Your answer is 6/11
