24. Parallel Lines If two lines have the same slope, they are parallel.
If two lines are parallel, they have the same slope.
All vertical lines have an undefined slope and are parallel to one another.

36. Example 3
Tim leaves his house and drives at a constant speed to go camping. On his way to the campgrounds, he stops to buy gas. Three hours after buying gas, Tim has traveled 220 miles from home, and 5 hours after buying gas he has traveled 350 miles from home. How far from home was Tim when he bought gas?

37. Example 3
Write a linear equation to model Tim’s distance, y, in terms of time, x. Three hours after buying gas, Tim has traveled 220 miles, and 5 hours after buying gas, Tim has traveled 350 miles. The line contains the points (3, 220) and (5, 350).

38. Example 3
Write a linear equation to model Tim’s distance, y, in terms of time, x. Three hours after buying gas, Tim has traveled 220 miles, and 5 hours after buying gas, Tim has traveled 350 miles. The line contains the points (3, 220) and (5, 350).

39. Example 3
This equation models Tim’s distance from home with respect to time. Since x represents the number of hours he traveled after he bought gas, he bought gas when x = 0. Thus, he bought gas 25 miles from home.
