What you need to do is give these problems a common denominator. Which makes 3/21 and14/21 respectively. Logically, you need to walk 4/21 of the trail. This can’t be simplified further.
Im sorry but this is not a quotient problem but an addition one, I can still simplyfy it for you though.
answer :
1. Slope 3/4, through (4,-1)
y = 3/4 x + b
-1 = 3/4(4) + b
-1 = 3 + b
-1 - 3 = b
-4 = b
y = 3/4 x - 4
2. Slope = - 1/2, through (3,0)
y = -1/2 x + b
0 = -1/2(3) + b
0 = -1.5 + b
0 + 1.5 = b
1.5 = b
y = -1/2 x + 1.5
1. Divide the target number of shirts, 12,600 by the company's rate of making the shirts. That is,
number of hours = 12,600 shirts/ (1200 shirts/6 hours)
= 63 hours
2. Determine the number of workdays for them to complete the shirts by dividing 63 hours by 9 hours/workday. This will give us an answer of 7 workdays.
Answer: Choice A
y + 1 = -3(x+2)
=============================
Explanation:
Let's look through the answer choices.
Choices C and D show that the point (2,1) is on the line. But the graph does not show this. So we can rule out choices C and D.
With choice A, the slope is negative and choice B has a positive slope.
The answer must be choice A because the line is going downhill as we move from left to right.
--------------
A common method is to pick two points on the line and compute the slope using the slope formula
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
Once you know the slope, you would use point slope form
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
