On a college campus, the library is 80 yards due east of the dormitory and the recreation center is due north of the library. The college is constructing a sidewalk from the dormitory to the recreation center. The sidewalk will be at a 56° angle with the current sidewalk between the dormitory and the library. To the nearest yard, how long will the new sidewalk be?

the first option is the answer.

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
