Answer:

  5 1/4 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of filling is 1/3 vats per hour. The rate of emptying is 1/7 vats per hour, so the net rate of filling is ...

  (1/3) -(1/7) = 4/21 . . . . vats per hour

Then for filling one vat, it will take an amount of time that is the inverse of this:

  21/4 = 5 1/4 . . . hours per vat

If both pipes are left open, the vat will fill in 5 1/4 hours.

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (-1,7) and is parallel to the line y= -2x-1
Nuetrik [128]

if we look at the equation y = -2x - 1, is already in slope-intercept form, therefore, \bf y=\stackrel{slope}{-2}x-1 has a slope of -2.


now, parallel lines have exactly equal slopes, therefore a parallel to that one above, will have also a slope of -2, so we're really looking for a line whose slope is -2 and runs through -1, 7.


\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{-1}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{7})\qquad \qquad \qquad slope =  m\implies -2\\\\\\\stackrel{\textit{point-slope form}}{y- y_1= m(x- x_1)}\implies y-7=-2[x-(-1)]\\\\\\y-7=-2(x+1)\implies y-7=-2x-2\implies y=-2x+5
