parallel lines have the same exact slope hmmm what's the slope of y = 2/3x-7 anyway? well, low and behold, is already in slope-intercept form, therefore
.
so we're really looking for the equation of a line whose slope is 2/3, and runs through 3, -1.
Answer is (1) 160 km in 2 hours and
(2) 16 miles in 12 minutes.
Step by step.
80 km / 1 hour = x km /2 hours
Cross multiply =
x = 160
The second one requires a little more math. Because we are looking at how far in minutes, we change the rate of 80km in 1 hour to 80 km in 60 minutes.
80 km / 60 = x / 12
Cross multiply
12x = 960
Solve for x by dividing both sides by 12
X = 16
I did the math on a print screen to explain the cross multiply.
