We need to build InterPlum St. in 2 sections
the first // to the other Plum Sts. such that HM = 1.5(ML).
This section runs until it meets Blue St. at J, then changes course to meet ThinRed St. at R
.
.
Solutions
Since angle LGO = 45º, the slope of LR must be -1,
since the rise over run for this line is in ratio 1 : 1. (isosceles right triangle).
This means that G is at (20, 0). (45 - 25 since OT = 45 and GT = 25).
So, L is at (0, 20).
a) The equation of LoPlum St (LR) is y = - x + 20.
b) The equation of HiPlum St (HS) is y = - x + 50.
c) L is at (0, 20), H is at (0, 50), S is at (45, 5)
d) M is at (0, 32) (HM : ML = 3 : 2, 5 parts = 30, 1 part = 6)
e) i) The equation of InterPlum St (MJ) is y = - x + 32
f) 
The total length of InterPlum St. is 73.43 Km.
