Answer:

  12 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let c and h represent the filling times for the cold and hot taps, respectively. When the cold tap is 1/2 open, we presume that means the filling time becomes 2c.

In terms of baths per minute, the relationships are ...

  1/c + 1/h = 1/3

  1/(2c) +1/h = 1/(3 +1.8) . . . . . 1:48 min:sec is 1.8 minutes

Subtracting the first equation from twice the second, we get ...

  2(1/(2c) +1/h) -(1/c +1/h) = 2(1/4.8) -(1/3)

  1/h = 2/4.8 -1/3 = 1/12

  h = 12

It takes the hot tap 12 minutes to fill the tub alone.

Line MN passes through points M(4, 3) and N(7, 12). If the equation of the line is written in slope-intercept form, y = mx + b,
seropon [69]

Answer:

-9

Step-by-step explanation:

What b represents here is the y intercept.

The first thing we will do here is to find the slope.

Mathematically;

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

Plugging the values;

m = (12-3)/(7-4) = 9/3 = 3

The equation can thus be written as;

y = 3x + b

To get b, we can use any of the points since they lie on the line

Let’s use point M

Substitute the values of x and y in the equation

3 = 3(4) + b

3 = 12 + b

b = 3-12 = -9
