Answer:

225\:\text{minutes}

Step-by-step explanation:

To navigate through this problem, start by finding how much each senator can complete in a fixed amount of time. I'll choose 10 as it's the greatest common factor of 30 and 50.

In 10 minutes, the junior senator can complete \frac{10}{50}=\frac{1}{5} of the labyrinth.

In 10 minutes, the senior senator can complete \frac{10}{30}=\frac{1}{3} of the labyrinth.

Therefore, working together, they can complete \frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{3}=\frac{8}{15} of the labyrinth in 10 minutes. Thus, it will take them \frac{15}{8}\cdot 10 \text{ minutes}=18.75\:\text{minutes} to complete one labyrinth.

The amount of time it take them to complete 12 labyrinths is then 18.75\cdot 12 =\boxed{225\:\text{minutes}}

What is the slope of the line (2,3) (1,-2)?
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer: The slope is 5

Step-by-step explanation:

You can calculate the slope of the line with this fomula:

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Given the points (2,3) and (1,-2), you can identify that:

y_2=-2\\y_1=3\\x_2=1\\x_1=2

Now, the final step is to substitute these values into the formula  m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}, getting that the slope of this line is:

 m=\frac{-2-3}{1-2}

m=\frac{-5}{-1}\\\\m=5
