Answer:

a) 18 hours

b) 10 water pumps

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>• We notice that we are in an inverse proportion situation </em>

<em>because</em><em> </em><em>when the number of pumps increase the number </em>

<em>of hours taken to fill the tank decrease  and vice versa</em>.

<em>Formula</em> :

<u>in an inverse proportional relation :</u>

<u>the product of the two variables = a constant (k)</u>

……………………………………………………………………………

let p be the number of pumps

and h be the number of hours

By applying the formula we get :

p × h = k

Then the constant of proportionality :

k = 6 × 15 = 90

a)

5 × h = 90

Then

h = 90/5

  = 18

b)

p × 9 = 90

Then

p = 90/9

  = 10

What is the equation of the line through 4.2 and 0, -2?
MissTica

Answer:

y = x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b as an equation

m = slope

slope = (change in y) / (change in x) = (y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁) = (y₁-y₂)/(x₁-x₂) = (2-(-2))/(4-0) = 4/4 = 1

y = 1*x + b

plug a value in, e.g. (0, -2)

-2 = 1 * 0 + b

-2 = b

our equation is thus

y = x - 2
