We need to use the Point slope formula to find the slope so we label
(2 , -8);(-1 , 16) subtract
x1 y1 x2 y2. y2-y1/x2-x1
16-(-8)/-1-2 = 24/-3 = -8
meaning the slope of this line is (-8)
Answer:
t = 6 4/25 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula to find out how long it takes them to do the job is
1/m + 1/ a = 1 /t
where m is the time for Matthew to do the job
a is the time for Arianna to do the job
and t is the time for them to do the job together
m = 14 hours
a = 11 hours
Substituting what we know
1/14 + 1/11 = 1/t
Multiplying by 154t (14*11*t) so we can clear the fractions
154t*(1/14 + 1/11) = 1/t* 154t
11t + 14t = 154
Combine like terms
25t = 154
Divide by 25
t = 154/25
t = 6 4/25 hours
