The Lewis family and the Perry family each used their sprinklers last summer. The water output rate for the Lewis family's sprinkler was 15 L per hour. The water output rate for the Perry family's sprinkler was 40 L per hour. The families used their sprinklers for a combined total of 65 hours, resulting in a total water output of 1850 L . How long was each sprinkler used
Answer:
Hours of use of sprinkler by Lewis family is 30 hours.
Hours of use of sprinkler by Perry family is 35 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let W = hours of use by Lewis family
65 - W = hours of use by Perry family
Then;
15W + 40*(65 - W) = 1850
15W + 2600 - 40W = 1850
(15 - 40)W = 1850 - 2600
-25W = −750
W = 750/25 = 30
Therefore;
W = 30
65 - W = 65 - 30 = 35
Hence,
Hours of use by Lewis family is 30 hours.
Hours of use by Perry family is 35 hours.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
y=mx+b where m=slope and b=y intercept
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m=(-2-4)/(2+1)
m=-2 so far we have the slope
y=-2x+b, using point (2,-2) we can solve for b, the y intercept
-2=-2(2)+b
-2=-4+b
2=b so we have our line
y=-2x+2, slope is -2 and y intercept is 2
Answer:
slope (3,1) using rise over run y-intercept -1
Step-by-step explanation:
Starting at your y-intercept -1 and going up three and 1 to the right you get to your next point on the graph
