It is given that the straight line y = (q + 2)x + 10 is parallel to the straight line 4x + 2y = 5. Find the value of q.

q= -4

Step-by-step explanation:

First, simplify 4x+2y=5

2y=-4x+5

y=-2x+5/2

q+2 has to equal to -2

q = -4

b. 1.25 hr

step-by-step explanation:

if you have a constant speed of 60 mph, then you have a ratio between 60 mi. to 1 hr. dividing both sides by 60 we get the ratio

1 mi. to

then mult. both sides by 75 we get the ratio

75 mi. to

simplifying we get

75 mi. to

or 1.25 hr.
