Answer:
0 solutions / no solutions
Step-by-step explanation:
If two lines have the same slope but different y-intercepts, it means that they are parallel.
For example, we have two lines:
y = x
y = x + 1
Both lines have the same slope of 1, but different y - intercepts. Because each equation increases the x and y at the same right (slope) but started at different points, the two equations will never touch.
It's similar to two runner who run at the same pace. If one runner started 50 meters ahead, that runner will always be ahead 50 meters (y-intercept) because they both run at the same rate.
Answer: he hiked 5.6 miles up the canyon.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent his speed hiking uphill.
His speed running downhill was 2.8 mph greater than his speed hiking uphill. This means that his speed running downhill would be x + 2.8
Distance = speed × time
Kevin hiked up Lamb’s Canyon in 2 hours. This means that the distance covered by hiking uphill is 2 × x = 2x
He ran back downhill in 1 hour. This means that the distance covered by running downhill is 1 × (x + 2.8) =
x + 2.8
Since the distance uphill is the same as the distance downhill, then
2x = x + 2.8
2x - x = 2.8
x = 2.8
Therefore, the distance hiked up the canyon is
2x = 2 × 2.8 = 5.6 miles
