Answer:
Find the question mark using the model I've provided and that'll be the answer!
Phil ran 2 7/8 miles more than micheal
I'm going to use the slope formula which is
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
where (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are the two points the line goes through
Slope of line PQ
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (-6 - 8)/(-5 - (-7))
m = (-6 - 8)/(-5 + 7)
m = (-14)/(2)
m = -7
The slope of line PQ is -7
Slope of RS
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (0 - (-5))/(-2 - 3)
m = (0 + 5)/(-2 - 3)
m = (5)/(-5)
m = -1
The slope of line RS is -1
Because the slopes are NOT equal (one is -7 and the other is -1), this means the lines are NOT parallel.

Answer: Choice B) No, the lines have unequal slopes
<u>Answer</u>
The first student was right.
The length of the long side is at least 13 inches.
<u>Explanation</u>
The perimeter of any figure is the distance all round.
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(l+w). Where l is length and w is the width.
2(l + w) ≥ 30
2{(x-3) + 2} ≥ 30
2(x-3+2) = 30
2(x - 1) ≥ 30
x - 1 ≥ 15
x ≥ 16
When x = 16,
l = 16-3
= 13 inches
The length of the long side is 13 inches. The first student was right.
