Answer:
0, because the house is already painted. If this isn't a riddle then, it should take 4 days because that is half the people, two times the workload per person.


- <u>We </u><u>have </u><u>given </u><u>that </u><u>the </u><u>coordinates </u><u>of </u><u>the </u><u>end </u><u>point </u><u>G </u><u>and </u><u>H </u><u>are </u><u>(</u><u> </u><u>-</u><u>6</u><u>,</u><u>5</u><u>)</u><u> </u><u>and </u><u>(</u><u> </u><u>2</u><u>,</u><u> </u><u>-</u><u>7</u><u> </u><u>)</u>

- <u>We </u><u>have </u><u>to </u><u>find </u><u>the </u><u>length </u><u>of </u><u>GH </u>

The coordinates of G = ( -6 , 5 )
The coordinates of H = ( 2 , - 7 )
<u>According </u><u>to </u><u>the </u><u>distance </u><u>formula</u><u>, </u><u> </u><u>we </u><u>get </u><u>:</u><u>-</u><u> </u>

- <u>Here</u><u>, </u><u> </u><u>x1</u><u> </u><u>=</u><u> </u><u>-</u><u>6</u><u> </u><u>,</u><u> </u><u>x2</u><u> </u><u>=</u><u> </u><u>2</u><u> </u><u>and </u><u>y1</u><u> </u><u>=</u><u> </u><u>5</u><u> </u><u>,</u><u> </u><u>y2</u><u> </u><u>=</u><u> </u><u>-</u><u>7</u>
<u>Subsitute </u><u>the </u><u>required </u><u>values </u><u>in </u><u>the </u><u>above </u><u>formula </u>








1) factor the denominators: 2b/(b-1)2 - 2/ (b-1)2
2) MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A COMMON DENOMINATOR
3) combine the numerators: 2b-2/(b-1)2
4) distribute 2 from numerator: 2(b-1)/(b-1)2
5) simplify; answer is 2/(b-1)
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
If it intersects the x axis, then y = 0. This is not possible, as you can plug in x to be 1/100000000000000000000000000000000000, or something very tiny, but it will never get 0. So, A is not a choice.
This also means B is not a choice.
If C is a choice, then it does not intercept the y axis, or x cannot be 0. This is not true, because (0, 1) is on the graph.
Finally, we have D. It intercepts the y axis (we have proven this in C). So, this is the only answer choice that is correct.
