Neither one of the slopes are going to be minus. It means you are travelling backwards in time, which is wonderful if you are a sci-fi fan, but not so good if you are Sharon. A and D has Sharon going from 70 to 0. That can't be happening so both are wrong.
Now you have to decide between B and C. The intersection point has Sharon going upwards until she is 20. She started out at 70. The graph has John starting at 70. That's not right.
So we've eliminated A,D and now C.
The answer must be B. They meet when Sharon is 90 and John is about 22.5 which is what it should be.
Check the picture below.
so, the hyperbola looks like so, clearly a = 6 from the traverse axis, and the "c" distance from the center to a focus has to be from -3±c, as aforementioned above, the tell-tale is that part, therefore, we can see that c = 2√(10).
because the hyperbola opens vertically, the fraction with the positive sign will be the one with the "y" in it, like you see it in the picture, so without further adieu,

OK...... your answer would be
- 10y^2 - 26y + 1/y

Answer:
If w represented the number of weeks he does his chores, the equations would be:
Miles: 120+10w
Simon:75+15w
