Since slope is calculated using the formula m = startfraction v 2 minus v 1 over x 2 minus x 1 endfraction, the slope of both lines is equivalent to it is given that the lines are parallel, and we calculated that the slopes are the same. therefore, parallel lines have the same slopes. startfraction v minus z over w minus x endfraction startfraction w minus x over v minus z endfraction startfraction v minus z + b over x minus z + a endfraction startfraction w minus x + a over v minus z + b endfraction

Abucket of paint has spilled on a tile floor. the paint flow can be expressed with the function p(t) = 6(t), where t represents time in minutes and p represents how far the paint is spreading. the flowing paint is creating a circular pattern on the tile. the area of the pattern can be expressed as a(p) = 3.14(p)^2 part a: find the area of the circle of spilled paint as a function of time, or a[p(t)]. show your work. part b: how large is the area of spilled paint after 8 minutes? you may use 3.14 to approximate pi in this problem.
