Wilda can do the job in 4 hours ... she does 1/4 (or 0.25) of it each hour.
Karla can do it in 5 hours ... she does 1/5 (or 0.2) of it each hour.

Wilda worked alone for 1 hour ... 0.25 of the job was done before her helper
arrived.  So only 0.75 of the job remained to be done together.

Working together, they accomplish (0.25 + 0.2) = 0.45 of the job in 1 hour.

How many times do they need to do  0.45  of the job in order to finish
the  0.75  of it that remains ?  That's the number of hours it will take them,
working together.

0.75 / 0.45  =  <em>1 and 2/3</em>

After Wilda worked alone for 1 hour and Karla came along to join her, it will
take them another  <em>1 hour and 40 minutes</em> to finish the job and go for a swim.

What is the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line with the slope of -5/8 that passes through the point (-14,6)
inessss [21]

Step-by-step explanation:

y-y1 = m(x-x1) is the equation for a linear line in y=mx+b (slope intercept)

slope = m = -5/8

x1 = -14

y1 = 6

y-6 = -5/8 (x--14)

y-6 = -5/8 (x+14)

y-6 = -5/8x-70/8

y-48/8= -5/8x-70/8

y = -5/8x - 22/8

When x = 0, y = -22/8, which makes (0, -22/8) your y intercept
