X=5.29 so the answer would be c
Step-by-step explanation:
With the given points, we can first find the gradient of the line:
gradient = (2+1)/(-4-8)
= -1/4
We also know that the formula of a straight line is
Y = mX+C, where m is gradient and C is y intercept.
Hence by substituting the coordinates (-4, 2) and the gradient -1/4, we get:
2 = (-1/4)(-4) + C
<u>C = 1</u><u>.</u> Hence, Answer is C.
(Actually, you can just draw a straight line connecting the 2 coordinates and find out the y intercept)
<h2>y = -0.25x + 2</h2><h3></h3><h3><em>Please let me know if I am wrong.</em></h3>

Calculate Jean's rate
----------------------------------------------
Jean takes 8 hours to fill the pool.
So in 1 hour, she can fill 1/8 of the pool
----------------------------------------------
Calculate Mark's rate
----------------------------------------------
Mark takes 12 hours to fill the pool.
So in 1 hour, he can fill 1/12 of the pool.
----------------------------------------------
Calculate their rate if they work together
----------------------------------------------
Jean = 1/8
Mark = 1/12
1/8 + 1/12 = 3/24 + 2/24 = 5/24
They will fill 5/24 of the pool in 1 hour
----------------------------------------------
Find number of hours needed to fill up the pool
----------------------------------------------
I hour = 5/24 of the pool
1 ÷ 5/24 hour = 5/24 ÷ 5/24 of the pool
24/5 hour = Whole pool
Whole pool = 24/5 hours
Whole pool = 4 4/5 hours or 4.8 hours
----------------------------------------------
Ans: The supervisor is not correct, it will take only 4.8 hours if both of them work together.
