Given:
George<span>'s page contains twice as many typed words as Bill's page
</span><span>Bill's page contains 50 fewer words than Charlie's page
</span><span>each person can type 70 words per minute, after one minute, the difference between twice the number of words on Bill's page and the number of words on Charlie's page is 220

Let Charlie's page be x.
Let Bill's page be x - 50
Let George's page be 2(x-50)

After 1 minute:
Charlie's page: x + 70
Bill's page: x - 50 + 70
George's page: 2(x-50) + 70

Difference between George's page and Charlie's page is 220.

[2(x-50) + 70] - (x + 70) = 220
2x - 100 + 70 - x - 70 = 220
2x - x - 100 + 70 - 70 = 220
x - 100 = 220
x = 220 + 100
x = 320

</span>Let Charlie's page be x. → x = 320
Let Bill's page be x - 50 → x - 50 = 320 - 50 = 270
Let George's page be 2(x-50) → 2(x-50) = 2(320-50) = 2(270) = 540 

<span>Bill's page initially contained 270 words. </span>

What is the slope of this line?
MrMuchimi

We can use the coordinates (-4, 5) and (0, 6) to find the slope.

Slope Formula: \frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

Solve: \frac{6 - 5}{0 - (-4)} = \frac{1}{4}

The slope of the line is \Large\boxed{\mathsf{1/4}}

Written in slope-intercept form: y = 1/4x + 6

Hope This Helped! Good Luck!
