There are two diferent maps of Ohio. ◦The scale on the first map is 1 cm to 10 km. The distance from Cleveland to Cincinnati is 400km.
◦The scale on the second map is 1 cm to 50 km.

What is the distance from Cleveland to Cincinnati on the second map? Explain your reasoning.

none.

step-by-step explanation:

m

1

=

5

m1=5

b

=

−

1

b=-1

find the slope and y-intercept of the second equation.

m

2

=

0

m2=0

b

=

−

6

b=-6

compare the slopes

m

m of the two equations.

m

1

=

5

,

m

2

=

0

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.

m

=

5

,

m

2

=

0

m1=5,m2=0

the answer is 15.50 for one mile

b) is slope: 0   y- intercept 15.5
