Trevor took a big steps to finding the length of the shadow of the big pine tree in front of the school. He estimated that the shadow was 16 yards long, or about 48 feet. He also stepped off the shadow cast by the two-story school building and estimated that its shadow was 18 feet long. Trevor thinks the building is 24 feet tall. About how many feet tall is the big pine tree? MEGA QUESTION!

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
