4 x + 30 = 5x + 20
-5x -5x
-x + 30 = 20
-30 -30
- x = -10
x = 10
Answer <u>(assuming it can be in slope-intercept form)</u>:
Step-by-step explanation:
1) First, find the slope of the line between the two points by using the slope formula,
. Substitute the x and y values of the given points into the formula and solve:
Thus, the slope of the line is
.
2) Next, use the point-slope formula
to write the equation of the line in point-slope form. Substitute values for
,
, and
in the formula.
Since
represents the slope, substitute
in its place. Since
and
represent the x and y values of one point the line intersects, choose any of the given points (it doesn't matter which one, it will equal the same thing) and substitute its x and y values into the formula as well. (I chose (-2,0), as seen below.) Then, isolate y and expand the right side in the resulting equation to find the equation of the line in slope-intercept form:

Time taken by Ria to paint a room = 4 hours
Time taken by Destiny to paint a room = 6 hours
If they work together, they complete 1 job. So,

The LCD of 4 and 6 is 12




Hence, both of them can paint the room in
hours or 2.4 hours.
