Since the lines have the same slopes, hence they are parallel lines
<h3>How to determine the relationship between lines</h3>
We can determine the relations by knowing the slopes of the line
For the line with coordinates (9, –5) and (5, –2)
Slope = -2+5/5-9
Slope = -3/4
For the line with coordinates (–4, –2) and (–8, 1)
Slope = 1+2/-8+4
Slope = -3/4
Since the lines have the same slopes, hence they are parallel lines

Make a substitution:
Then the system becomes
Simplifying the equations gives
which is to say,
Substituting this into the new system gives
Then
(meaning two solutions are (7, 13) and (-7, -13))
X - Linda's speed
(x+8 )- Colleen's speed
8x - Linda's distance for 8 h
8(x+8) = 8x+64 - Colleen's distance for 8 h
8x + 8x + 64 = 176 - distance between Colleen and Linda after 8 h
8x + 8x + 64 = 176
16x +64 = 176
16x = 176 - 64
16x = 112
x= 7 mph Linda's speed
x+8 = 7+8 = 15 mph Colleen's speed
