New pump:
5 hours = 1 pool
1 hour = 1/5 pool

Old pump:
15h = 1 pool
1h = 1/15 pool

If both work together
1h = 1/5 + 1/15 = 4/15 pool

4/15 pool = 1 hour
1/15 pool = 1/4 hour
15/15 pool = 1/4 x 15 
1 pool = 3.75 hours or 3 hours 45 mins

<h3>Answer:</h3>

The Slope is 2

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Notice that both the points, (60,0) and (70,20), are on the line. So we can use those points to calculate the slope. Recall that that slope of the line m can be calculated by \frac{y_2 -y_1}{x_2 -x_1}\\ if we have the points, (x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2).

<h3>Calculating for the slope of the line:</h3>

Given:

(60,0)

(70,20)

m = \frac{20 -0}{70 -60} \\ m = \frac{20}{10} \\ m = 2

In a city, 60% of the residents live in houses and 40% of the residents live in apartments. Of the people who live in houses, 20
Step2247 [10]
75%; so if we say there are 100 people in this city that means 60 of them live in houses and 40 of them live in apartments. Of the 60 living in houses 20% of them (12% of total population; 60 x .20) own their own business and those in apartments (40) 10% of them (4% of total pop.; 40 x .10) have their own business. In total 16 of the 100 people have businesses and 12 of those people live in houses so 12/16 equals .75. We multiply this by 100 to get the percent so there’s 75% that a person who owns a business in this city will also live in a house.
