To find the value of r

We will follow the steps below

Usinf the equation of a slope:

slope(m) =

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

from the question given;

m= -3/4

x₁ = 3

y₁=4

x₂=-1

y₂=r

substituting the values into the slope formula

$\frac{-3}{4}\text{ = }\frac{r-4}{-1-3}$

we can now simplify and then solve for r

$\frac{-3}{4}\text{ = }\frac{r-4}{-4}$

cross-multiply

-3 x -4 = 4(r-4)

12 = 4(r-4)

Divide both-side of the equation by 4

$\frac{12}{4}\text{ = }\frac{4(r-4)}{4}$

3 = r - 4

add 4 to both-side of the equation

3+4 = r-4+4

7 = r

r=7

Therefore the value of r is 7

If Ann can build the model in 3 hours, then in 1 hour she gets 1/3 of it done. Likewise, if Sam can build the model in 6 hours, then in 1 hour he gets 1/6 of it done. We are looking to find how long it takes when they combine their efforts, so we will add the two together and set it equal to 1/x, x being the number of hours it takes for both of them to get the whole job done. The equation then looks like this: $\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{6}=\frac{1}{x}$ . You will have to find the common denominator to add those fractions, and once you do, cross multiply to solve for x.
