Question Today, John ran 15 miles in 2 hours and 30 minutes. He wants to represent the relationship between the distance he ran, in miles, and the time, in hours, as proportional in order to examine his times at various distances. Write an equation that John can use to represent a proportional relationship between distance, d , in miles, and time, t , in hours.

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
