If a line is parallel to another, the slopes of both lines are the same. So for this problem, you can infer that the slope of the line you're trying to find is 3.
To find the actual equation of the line, you can use the given coordinates and plug them into the point slope form:
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
plug the given y coordinate into y1 and the given x coordinate into x1. m is the slope, so plug in 3 for m.
y - 1 = 3(x +2) Use distributive property for right side of equation
y - 1 = 3x + 6 add 1 to both sides to cancel -1 on left side of equation and isolate y
Equation of line: y = 3x + 7
So that is equal to 180 miles per 2 hours which is 90 miles per hour if each hour has the same m/hr rate.
You can set up a proportion:
let x = number of miles per hour

cross multiply and you get
2x=180
divide both sides by 2 and you get
x=90
so you get the same answer both ways,
90 miles per hour

The ratio for the percent increase has a smaller denominator than the percent decrease.
Step-by-step explanation:
From 45 to 75, the increase is 30
If we check the % increased, (30/45)*100 = 66.667%
If we decrease the price from 75 to 45, the amount is same, i.e. 30 but the denominator is changed.
(30/75)*100 = 40%
