Semiautomatic machines are used to produce a particular product. It takes 4 minutes to load and 3 minutes to unload a machine. A machine runs automatically for 25 minutes in producing one unit of the product. Travel time between machines is 20 seconds. While machines are automatically running, the operator inspects the unit previously produced; 75 seconds are required to inspect one unit. An operator costs $15 per hour, and a machine costs $40 per hour. Determine the number of machines assigned to an operator to minimize the cost per unit produced.

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?
