Billy walks 24 miles in 12 hours. a. Find his speed in miles per hour.
b. Then use the unit rate from part a to find the distance he will travel, in miles, in 2 hours.

speed = 55 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

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
