If we say there are 100 cars in a lot (It's an arbitrary number. You can use any number you want), Matthew can wash 100 cars in 14 hours or 7.14 cars an hour. Arianna can wash 100 cars in 11 hours or 9.09 cars an hour. Together, in an hour they can wash 7.14 + 9.09 or 16.23 cars. So to wash 100 cars it would take them 100/16.23 = 6.16 or about 6 hours. 
You can do this with variables as well. 
Matthew has a rate of x/14 while Arianna has a rate of x/11. Together their rate is x/14 + x/11= x/y
Divide both sides by x, you would get 1/14 + 1/11 = 1/y
Solve for y which would be around 6 hours.

The equation of a linear function in point-slope form is y-y1=m(x-x1). Harold correctly wrote the equation y=3(x-7) using a poin
grin007 [14]

Answer:

(7, 0).

Step-by-step explanation:

We have   y =  3(x - 7)

y = 3x - 21

Point-slope form is

y - y1 = 3(x - x1)

y  -  y1 = 3x - 3x1

Comparing this to the equation y = 4x - 21 we see that y1 = 0 and x1 = 7.
