8 Line in the xy-plane contains points from each of Quadrants II, III, and IV, but no points from Quadrant I. Which of the follo
wing must be true? A) The slope of line is undefined. B) The slope of line is zero. C) The slope of line is positive. D) The slope of line is negative. CONTINUE
1 answer:
Answer:
The correct option is D.
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of a line is the change in y with respect to x.
If the slope of a line is undefined it means it is a vertical line and a vertical line can not passes through three quadrants. So, option A is incorrect.
If the slope of a line is 0 it means it is a horizontal line and a horizontal line can not passes through three quadrants. So, option B is incorrect.
If the slope of a line is positive it means the value of y increases as x increases.
Since it is an increasing line, therefore after a certain period both x and y will positive. It means the line will passes through first quadrant. So, option C is incorrect.
If the slope of a line is negative it means the value of y decreases as x increases. It can passes through each of Quadrants II, III, and IV.
Therefore the correct option is D.

Answer:
The solution x = 229.89 ≅ 230 (since we cannot have a decimal number of sweatshirts)implies that, the money collected from selling sweatshirts equals the money used in producing sweatshirts when 230 sweatshirts have been sold or produced.
Step-by-step explanation:
Here is the complete question
In the first equation in the system of equations, y represents the money collected from selling sweatshirts. in the second equation, y represents the money spent to produce x sweatshirts with team logos on them for a professional sports league.
y=35x; y=-0.05(x-400)²+9,492
what does the solution of the system represent in this context?
Solution
The solution of the system is obtained when both equations are equal. That is y=35x = y=-0.05(x-400)²+9,492 .
So, 35x = -0.05(x-400)² + 9,492.
Expanding the right side, we have
35x = -0.05(x² - 800x + 160000) + 9492
35x = -0.05x² -800x × -0.05 + (-0.05) × 160000 + 9492
35x = -0.05x² +40x - 8000 + 9492
35x = -0.05x² +40x + 1492
Collecting all the terms to the left side, we have
0.05x² - 40x - 1492 + 35x = 0
0.05x² - 5x -1492 = 0
Using the quadratic formula,
We choose the positive answer x = 229.83. Since we cannot have a decimal number of sweatshirts, we approximate to the nearest whole number. So, x = 229.83 ≅ 230 sweatshirts.
The solution implies that the money collected from selling sweatshirts equals the money used in producing sweatshirts when 230 sweatshirts have been sold or produced.
We confirm that by plugging in x = 229.83 in both equations.
y = 35x = 35(229.83) = 8044.05 ≅ 8044.1
y=-0.05(x-400)²+9,492 = y=-0.05(229.83-400)²+9,492 = y=-0.05(-170.17)²+9,492 = y=-0.05(28,957.8289)+9,492 = -1447.8914 + 9492 = 8044.11 ≅ 8044.1
