The first thing I should do with these two points is find the slope of the line.
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (-1 - 7)/(-9 - -9)
m = -8/0
The slope is undefined. We cannot divide by 0. This makes sense because the points (-9, 7) and (-9, -1) would be right on top of each other. This is a vertical line that has an x-intercept at -9.
Your equation would be x = -9.
2 because 2 + 8 = 10 and subtract 7 = 3

Answer:
It will take Sarah 2 1/2 hours to mow 10 lawns
It will take Sarah 1 2/3 hours to clean 10 pools
Step-by-step explanation:
During the summer holidays, Sarah earns pocket money by mowing the lawn. She can mow 6 lawns in 1 1/2 hour and clean a pool in one-sixth of an hour. How long does Sarah take to clean 10 pools and 10 lawns?
Number of lawns : Time to mow lawns = 6 : 1 1/2
= 6 : 3/2
Number of lawns : Time to mow lawns = 10 : x
6 : 3/2 = 10 : x
6 ÷ 3/2 = 10/x
6 * 2/3 = 10/x
12/3 = 10/x
Cross product
12 * x = 3 * 10
12x = 30
x = 30/12
x = 2 6/12
x = 2 1/2 hours
It will take Sarah 2 1/2 hours to mow 10 lawns
Number of pools cleaned : time taken = 1 : 1/6
Number of pools cleaned : time taken = 10 : x
1 : 1/6 = 10 : x
1 ÷ 1/6 = 10/x
1 * 6/1 = 10/x
6 = 10/x
Cross product
6 * x = 10
6x = 10
x = 10/6
x = 1 4/6
x = 1 2/3 hours
It will take Sarah 1 2/3 hours to clean 10 pools
Answer:
16
Step-by-step explanation:
divide 4 by .25 (or 1/4) and you get 16
