Using quadratic formula you can have a maximum of two solutions. When you set this problem equal to zero, your a=-1, b=-10, c=2
The answer is A. If there are 3 thirds (1/3s) per yard and there are 6 yards, 3*6=18. Because the last cut will make two 1/3-yard segments, the answer is 17 cuts and not 18.
Answer:
31/40
Step-by-step explanation:
It cannot be reduced anymore. It is already in simplest form.
The correct answer is C) 1/3 and (0, 1)
The y-intercept part is somewhat simple. In order for it to be a y-intercept, the x value of the ordered pair must be 0. That is only true in B and C, therefore they are the only possible answers.
To find the slope, we must choose two points on the line and use the slope formula. We can start by using the y-intercept (0, 1) and also (3, 2). Now we use the slope formula.
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
In this equation m is equal to slope, the first point is (x1, y1) and the second point is (x2, y2)
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (2 - 1)/(3 - 0)
m = 1/3
Now knowing the slope, you can match this with answer C.
