Well, to add fractions, you need to find a common denominator. In this case, the smallest common denominator would be 12. So you must multiply each fraction so that both denominators are 12.
3/4*3/3=9/12
1/3*4/4=4/12
Add those two fractions together, reduce if possible, and you have your answer!
9/12+4/12=13/12
You can't reduce, so 13/12 is your answer.
Hope it helps!

Answer:
The probability that neither is available when needed
Step-by-step explanation:
A town has 2 fire engines operating independently
Given data the probability that a specific engine is available when needed is 0.96.
Let A and B are the two events of two fire engines
given P(A and B) = 0.96 ( given two engines are independent events so you have to select A and B)
Independent events : P( A n B) = P(A) P(B)
The probability that neither is available when needed


Slope of a line contatining the points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is
(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
so slope between (-6,3) and (2,-5) is
(-5-3)/(2-(-6))=(-8)/(2+6)=-8/8=-1
the slope is -1
