Answer:
1/6
Step-by-step explanation:
since 31/6 is 5 1/6
 
        
                    
             
        
        
        
Cody ALONE = 8 hours 
Kaitlyn ALONE = 6 hours 
Let Joseph ALONE take j hours 
Cody ALONE in 1 HOUR = 1/8 of the work Kaitlyn ALONE in 1 hour = 1/6 of the work Joseph ALONE in 1 HOUR = 1/j of the work 
Since TOGETHER they take X hours, in 1 hour TOGETHER they complete 1 / X of the work 
1/8 + 1/6 + 1/j = 1/X 
1/j = 1/X - 1/8 - 1/6 = (24 - 3X - 4X ) /24X = (24 - 7X ) / 24X 
j = 24X / ( 24- 7X ) 
After completing the work value of X will be known , calculate j from the above formula ANSWER
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
y = -2x - 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope intercept form of equation is of form 
y = mx+c 
where m is the slope of line and c is the y intercept of the line.
Y intercept is point on y axis where the line intersects the y axis.
_____________________________
Given equation 
y = -2x +4 
comparing it with y = mx+ c
m = -2 , c = 4
_____________________________
when two lines are parallel, their slopes are equal.
Let the equation of new line in slope intercept form be y = mx + c
Thus slope of of new required line is -2
Thus m for new line is -2.
now, equation of required line : y = -2x+c
Given that this line passes through (-4, -2). This point shall should satisfy equation  y = -2x+c. 
Substituting the value of (-4, -2) we have
-2 = -2(-4)+c
=> -2 = 8 +c 
=> -2 -8 = c
=> c = -10.
Thus , equation of required line is  y = -2x - 10.
