The distance from the Merry-Go-Round to the ferris wheel is _____ unit(s). The distance from the ferris wheel to roller coaster 2 is _____ unit(s).

The total distance from the ferris wheel to roller coaster 1 and then to the swings is ____ unit(s).

It will help you more if I manage to get you involved here, instead of just giving you answers.

You want the equation of a line parallel to y = x + 5 and passing through the point (-1,-1).  If two lines are parallel, their slopes are equal.  Thus, the slope of the new line is 1.    Let's use the point-slope form of the eqn of a str. line here:

y-[-1] = 1(x-[-1]), or y+1 = x + 1. 

Would you please follow this pattern and try to find the equation of a new line that is parallel to y = -3x + 1 and passes through the point (2,4).
