Is that all the information privided? Im tring to figure it out but I feel like im missing something.
Yes, this question is statistical because the temperature in North Carolina is a number based of temp which makes it a statistical number.
The middle point of BC is (0,2), the midpoint of CD is (1,0)
to prove two lines are parallel, prove their slopes are the same.
slope of BD: m=rise/run=4/-2=-2 (the run is negative because to get to B from D on the grid, you have to move from right to left, then upward. If the horizontal move is from left to right, the run is positive)
slope of EG: m=rise/run=2/-1=-2
EG and BD have the same slope, so they are parallel.
<u>Answer:</u>
$50 and $115
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
We know that,
the sum of the two rates = $165 per hour
Let x and (165 - x) represent the $/hour of the 15hr and 5hr mechanics respectively.
Then combining their charges together to get:
Solving for x to get:
So the rate charged per hour by one mechanic is $50 and for the other mechanic = 
$115.
