Answer:
Their slopes are opposites
In analytical geometry, we can find the linear distance between two parallel lines by determining the coefficients of the variables and the constants. The general equation for a linear equation is: Ax + By = C.
Line 1: 2x - 3y = -4
Line 2: 2x - 3y = -15
In this case, A=2 and B=-3. The constants are C₁ = -4 and C₂ = -15. The distance follows this formula:
d = |C₁ - C₂|/(√(A²+B²)
d = |⁻4 - ⁻15|/(√(2²+⁻3²)
d = 3.051 units
240/4=60 so 60x5=300. Traveled 300 miles in 5 hours
