b=-6

compare the slopes

m1=5,m2=0

compare the two slopes in the decimal form. if the slopes are equal, then the lines are parallel. if the slopes are not equal, then the lines are not parallel.

that would be a prism, if not right, feel free to correct me

we are given scale of 2 units.

on graph paper the space is 2.5 cm.

length of glass = 8 units.

8 units = 2 units +2 units +2 units +2 units.

each 2 unit is = 2.5cm.

therefore,

8 units = 2 units +2 units +2 units +2 units = 2.5+2.5+2.5+2.5= 10cm.
