Answer:

80 minutes or 1 h 20 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

15-13=2

2/0.025=80

So we can conclude that it takes 80 minutes till it reaches 13 feet.

Match each pair of points to the equation of the line that is parallel to the line passing through the points.

Paraphin [41]

we know that

If two lines are parallel, then, their slopes are equal.

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

we will proceed to calculate the slope in each case, to determine the solution of the problem

Case A) Point $B(5,2)\ C(7,-5)$

Find the slope BC

Substitute the values in the formula

$m=\frac{-5-2}{7-5}$

$m=\frac{-7}{2}$

$m=-3.5$

The equation $y=-3.5x-15$ is parallel to the line passing through the points $B(5,2)\ C(7,-5)$

therefore

the answer Part A) is

$B(5,2)\ C(7,-5)$ ------> $y=-3.5x-15$

Case B) Point $D(11,6)\ E(5,9)$

Find the slope DE

Substitute the values in the formula

$m=\frac{9-6}{5-11}$

$m=\frac{3}{-6}$

$m=-0.5$

The equation $y=-0.5x-3$ is parallel to the line passing through the points $D(11,6)\ E(5,9)$

therefore

the answer Part B) is

$D(11,6)\ E(5,9)$ ------> $y=-0.5x-3$

Case C) Point $F(-7,12)\ G(3,-8)$

Find the slope FG

Substitute the values in the formula

$m=\frac{-8-12}{3+7}$

$m=\frac{-20}{10}$

$m=-2$

Any linear equation with slope $m=-2$ will be parallel to the line passing through the points $F(-7,12)\ G(3,-8)$

Case D) Point $H(4,4)\ I(8,9)$

Find the slope HI

Substitute the values in the formula

$m=\frac{9-4}{8-4}$

$m=\frac{5}{4}$

$m=1.25$

The equation $y=1.25x+4$ is parallel to the line passing through the points $H(4,4)\ I(8,9)$

therefore

the answer Part D) is

$H(4,4)\ I(8,9)$ ------> $y=1.25x+4$

Case E) Point $J(7,2)\ K(-9,8)$

Find the slope JK

Substitute the values in the formula

$m=\frac{8-2}{-9-7}$

$m=\frac{6}{-16}$

$m=-0.375$

Any linear equation with slope $m=-0.375$ will be parallel to the line passing through the points $J(7,2)\ K(-9,8)$

Case F) Point $L(5,-7)\ M(4,-12)$

Find the slope LM

Substitute the values in the formula

$m=\frac{-12+7}{4-5}$

$m=\frac{-5}{-1}$

$m=5$

The equation $y=5x+19$ is parallel to the line passing through the points $L(5,-7)\ M(4,-12)$

therefore

the answer Part F) is

$L(5,-7)\ M(4,-12)$ ------> $y=5x+19$
