<u>Answer:</u>

The older repear will harvest in 6 hrs

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given a field can be harvested in 1 hr with 2 reapers

Consider the total field to be 1

Let x be the time of older’s reaper

The field can be harvested in 1.2 hr with newer reaper alone

Older’s time of harvesting = \frac{1}{x} per hour

Newer’s time of harvesting = \frac{1}{1.2}per hour

Total (Older+Newer) = 1 = {\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{1.2}}

 \frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{1.2}=1

 \frac{1.2+x}{1.2 x}=1

1.2 + x = 1.2x

1.2 = 0.2x

x = 6

Therefore, older repear will harvest in 6 hrs

A line that passes through the point (–1, 3) has a slope of 2. Find another point on the line.
sineoko [7]
Easy, find the equation of the line,

Using y=mx+b form:

(-1,3) m=2

3= 2(-1)+b

3= -2+b
+2     +2

5=b

y=2x+5. This is your equation.

Now, plug in the coordinates:

(-3,2)

2= 2(-3)+5
2= -6+5
2= -1

NO

(0,5)

5= 2(0)+5
5=5

YES

(1,5)

5= 2(1)+5
5= 2+5
5=7

NO

(1,4)

4= 2(1)+5
4= 2+5
4=7

NO.

Thus, B, is your answer.
