Since the slope stays the same as it's parallel, we have y=(3/4)x+b. Plugging (2,-1) in, we get -1=3*2/4+b=6/4+b=1.5+b. Subtracting 1.5 from both sides, we get -2.5=b and our equation being y=(3/4)x-2.5 (since in y=mx+b, y and x remain as variables)
The answer to the question is 5
To start to figure this problem out, we can first figure out how many more pages you read in an hour compared to your sister.
50 - 40 = 10, so you read 10 more pages in 1 hour.
Now we have to figure out how much more you would read in 1/2 an hour. Since 1/2 an hour is 1/2 of an hour, we can divide 10 by 2 to figure out how many more pages you read in an hour compared to your sister. 10 divided by 2 is 5, so you read 5 more pages every half hour.
