D=number of dimes
q=number of quarters

total is 250 coins so one equation is
d+q=250

dimes are worth 10 cents
quarters are worth 25 cents
I will count cents not dolars
total is 3925 cents
10d+25q=3925

we have
d+q=250
and
10d+25q=3925
multiply first equation by -10 and add to 2nd

-10d-10q=-2500
<u>10d+25q=3925 + </u>
0d+15q=1425

15q=1425
divide both sides by 15
q=95
sub back

d+q=250
d+95=250
d=155

155 dimes
95 quarters

Write an equation of the line in slope intercept form that pass through the two

Ber [7]

$\bf \begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\
% (a,b)
&({{ -2}}\quad ,&{{ 15}})\quad 
% (c,d)
&({{ 9}}\quad ,&{{ -18}})
\end{array}
\\\\\\
% slope = m
slope = {{ m}}= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies 
\cfrac{{{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}}}{{{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}}}\implies \cfrac{-18-15}{9-(-2)}\implies \cfrac{-18-15}{9+2}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{-33}{11}\implies -3$

$\bf \stackrel{\textit{point-slope form}}{y-{{ y_1}}={{ m}}(x-{{ x_1}})}\implies y-15=-3[x-(-2)]
\\\\\\
y-15=-3(x+2)\implies y-15=-3x-6\implies y=-3x+9$
