Answer:
The graph does not intercept the x-axis
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi there!
When the discriminant is positive, it means that in the quadratic equation, you <em>can</em> take the square root of this number and end up with two distinct solutions, one negative and one positive. The graph will intercept the x-axis twice.
When the discriminant is zero, it means that you won't be taking the square root of any number in the quadratic equation and you'll end up with two solutions that are equal, or just one distinct solution. The graph will intercept the x-axis once.
When the discriminant is negative, it means that the quadratic has no real solutions, meaning that it does not intercept the x-axis. It is impossible to take the square root of a negative number.
I hope this helps!

Answer:
y=-1/4x+8
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the equation of a line that is perpendicular to a line, you would take the opposite reciprocal of the slope.
Before that, we need to change the equation into slope-intercept form.
-4x+y=10
y=4x+10
The opposite reciprocal of the slope is -1/4.
Now, let's use the point-slope formula to find our equation of the line that passes through (-4,9).
y-y1=m(x-x1)
y-9=-1/4(x-(-4))
y-9=-1/4x-1
y=-1/4x+8
<u>Part (a)</u>
The variable y is the dependent variable and the variable x is the independent variable.
<u>Part (b)</u>
The cost of one ticket is $0.75. Therefore, the cost of 18 tickets will be:
dollars
Now, we know that Kendall spent her money only on ride tickets and fair admission and that she spent a total of $33.50.
Therefore, the price of the fair admission is: $33.50-$13.50=$20
If we use y to represent the total cost and x to represent the number of ride tickets, the linear equation that can be used to determine the cost for anyone who only pays for ride tickets and fair admission can be written as:
......Equation 1
<u>Part (c)</u>
The above equation is logical because, in general, the total cost of the rides will depend upon the number of ride tickets bought and that will be 0.75x. Now, even if one does not take any rides, that is when x=0, they still will have to pay for the fair admission, and thus their total cost, y=$20.
Likewise, any "additional" cost will depend upon the number of ride tickets bought as already suggested. Thus, the total cost will be the sum of the total ride ticket cost and the fixed fair admission cost. Thus, the above Equation 1 is the correct representative linear equation of the question given.
