<span>We can safely assume that 1212 is a misprint and the number of seats in a row exceeds the number of rows by 12. Let r = # of rows and s = # of seats in a row. Then, the total # of seats is T = r x s = r x ( r + 12), since s is 12 more than the # of rows. Then r x (r + 12) = 1564 or r**2 + 12*r - 1564 = 0, which is a quadratic equation. The general solution of a quadratic equation is: x = (-b +or- square-root( b**2 - 4ac))/2a In our case, a = 1, b = +12 and c = -1564, so x = (-12 +or- square-root( 12*12 - 4*1*(-1564) ) ) / 2*1 = (-12 +or- square-root( 144 + 6256 ) ) / 2 = (-12 +or- square-root( 6400 ) ) / 2 = (-12 +or- 80) / 2 = 34 or - 46 We ignore -46 since negative rows are not possible, and have: rows = 34 and seats per row = 34 + 12 = 46 as a check 34 x 46 = 1564 = total seats</span>

Pamela is incorrect. When you multiply anything negative by a negative, the product will always be a positive. Because the two negative signs cancel each other out.

State the slope of the line. <br> A:undefined <br> B:1<br> C:-2<br> D:0<br> Help ASAP
Nikitich [7]
Every point on this line has the same y coordinate, which is -2. There is no "rise" at all so rise = 0 while the "run" is any nonzero value you want. If you made the run be say 2, then

slope = rise/run = 0/2 = 0

The slope is 0

Answer: D) 0

note: all horizontal lines like this have a slope of 0. It doesn't matter what the y intercept is
