Answer:
6 because they are 6 sq apart
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Consider points (0, -5) and (-6, -1)
» General equation of a line:

- m is slope
- c is y-intercept
<u> </u><u>S</u><u>l</u><u>o</u><u>p</u><u>e</u><u> </u><u>(</u><u>m</u><u>)</u><u>:</u>

<u> </u><u>y</u><u>-</u><u>i</u><u>n</u><u>t</u><u>e</u><u>r</u><u>c</u><u>e</u><u>p</u><u>t</u><u> </u><u>(</u><u>c</u><u>)</u><u>:</u>

consider point (0, -5)

Equation:

There is no picture but ok
1/9 + 1/2 = 1/x
Let x = length of time it will take both hoses to work together
Multiply both sides by 18x.
2x + 9x = 18
10x = 18
x = 18/10
x = 9/5
x = 1.8 hours
In other words, if both hoses work together, the pool can be filled in 1 hour and 48 minutes.
