The answer is four. It's like asking to give the least common denominator
The slope of this line is -1/6.
2 Point: (6,2) (-6,6)
x₁ y₁ x₂ y₂
Remember:
rise change in y y₂ - y₁ 6 - 2 4
---------- = ------------------- = ------------- = ----------- = ----------
run change in x x₂ - x₁ -6 - 6 -12
Simplify 4/-12
4 ÷ 4 1
------- = ------------- = -1/3
-12 ÷ 4 -3
The slope of the line is -1/3.
We know that:
time=distance/speed
if the tortoise speed is x m/min, then since 0.5 m/hr=1/120 m/min
18/x=23+18/(x+1/120)
solving for x we get:
x=0.08 m/min
speed of hare is:
(0.08+1/120)=0.088 m/min
