Answer: 1.58 hours
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
-4<x<6 would be the compound inequality
The line passing through (3, -1) and (-1, 5) has this slope:
5+1
m = ---------- = -3/2
-1-3
We need to find the y-intercept. To do this, substitute the knowns (-3/2 for m, -1 for y and 3 for x) into the slope-intercept equation:
-1 = (-3/2)(3) + b. Then: -1 = -9/2 + b, and so b = 9/2 - 1 = 7/2.
The desired equation is y = (-3/2)x + 7/2.
