(-2.5,6.1)(-2.5,3.1).....notice how ur x values are the same. This means that u have a vertical line which has an undefined slope.
IF ur y values would have been the same, u would have had a horizontal line which has a 0 slope.
The only ways i thought of was 0.7, 0.70, and 0.700 .
let's firstly convert the mixed fraction to improper fraction and then divide.

In the given question, there are two vital information's give. Firstly 8 ears of corn and 1 cantaloupe cost $2.37. On the other hand 6 ears of corn and 3 cantaloupes cost $3.51.
Let us assume the cost of 1 corn = X
Let us assume the cost of 1 cantaloupe = Y
Then
8X + Y = 2.37
Y = 2.37 - 8X
And
6X + 3Y = 3.51
Now we replace the value of Y we found from the first equation
Then
6X + 3(2.37 - 8X) = 3.51
6X - 24X + 7.11 = 3.51
-18X = 3.51 - 7.11
-18X = -3.6
X = 3.6/18
= 0.20
So $0.20 is the value of 1 corn. Then the value of a cantaloupe
Y = 2.37 - 8X
= 2.37 - (8 * 0.20)
= 2.37 - 1.6
= 0.77
So cost of a cantaloupe is $0.77
Answer:
4.53*10^7 because you have to move the decimal place then multiply by ten to the power of the amount you moved the decimal.
