The scale of a map says that 2 inches represents 5 miles. What distance on the map in inches represents an actual distance of 6 miles?

2.4 inches on the map

Step-by-step explanation:

2/5 = x/6

2/5 • 6 = x/6

2.4 = x

b. y = 4x - 2

step-by-step explanation:

to find a parallel equation to an equation, make sure both equations have the same slope but different y-intercepts.

y = 4x + 1

4 = slope

1 = y-intercept

y = 4x - 2

4 = slope

-2 = y-intercept

they both have the same slope but different y-intercepts, so, b. is the correct answer.

and to check your work, you can graph both equations. : )
