For this case we have by definition, that the equation of a line in the slope-intersection form is given by:
Where:
m: It is the slope of the line
b: It is the cut point with the "y" axis
We have, according to the data provided, that the line is of the form:
That means that the slope is -1.

Answer:
15 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Let be the miles in the circular park path,
the time Louisa takes to finish and
the time Calvin takes to finish both in hours.
Then , the longitude is equal to the velocity times the time used to finish. So
And the difference between Louisa's time and Calvin' time is 30 minutes, half an hour. So:
Three equations, three unknowns, the system can be solved.
Equalizing the equation with x :
In this last equation replace with the other equation and solve:
With Louisa's time find x:
