Umm, what grade are you in . i’ll see if i can help
Use the 2 points to find the gradient of the line
Gradient = (y - y1)/(x - x1), y and y1 are the two different y values.
(2.3 - - 7.4)/(-4.3 - 1.3) = -97/56 = -1.732
Note: y and x both come from the same coordinate, and y1 and x1 also come from the same coordinates - (x , y), (x1 , y1)
Use the following to find the equation (x, x1, y, and y1 are not the same as the first part)
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
Where x2 and y2 is an intersection (one of the coordinates you used) and m is the gradient you found.
So...
y - 2.3 = -1.732(x - - 4.3)
You can simplify this if you are required to.
Answer:
6 2/3 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Their rates in "jobs per hour" are ...
(60 min/h)/(15 min/job) = 4 jobs/h
and
(60 min/h)/(12 min/job) = 5 jobs/h
So, their combined rate is ...
(4 jobs/h) + (5 jobs/h) = 9 jobs/h
The time required (in minutes) is ...
(60 min/h)/(9 jobs/h) = (60/9) min = 6 2/3 min
Working together, it will take them 6 2/3 minutes.
