Please help — Neil is going to a bookstore 45 miles away. The bridge was closed on the way back, so he had to take an alternate route and had to drive 15 mph slower, which make the trip
back take 7 minutes longer. How fast was he going on the way to the bookstore?

the equation of the parallel line would be y = 2x + 9

step-by-step explanation:

to start we need to find the slope of the original line. we can do that by looking at the coefficient of x, which is 2

since the slope of the original line is 2 and parallel lines have the same slope, we know the new line will also have 2 slope. now we can use that along with the point given in point-slope form to get the find equation.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 5 = 2(x + 2)

y - 5 = 2x + 4

y = 2x + 9

the answer would be 0.54
