Option 1: $y = -3x+3$ is the right answer

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form is given by:

$y = mx+b$

Here m is the slope and b is y-intercept

Given

m = -3

Point = (-1,6)

Putting the value of slope

$y = -3x+b$

To find the value of b, putting the given point (-1,6) in the equation

$6 = -3(-1) +b\\6 = 3 + b\\b = 6-3\\b = 3$

Putting the value of b in slope-intercept form

$y = -3x+3$

Hence,

Option 1: $y = -3x+3$ is the right answer

Write an equation for this relationship.

disa [49]

Answer:

y=18.5x

Step-by-step explanation:

74-55.5=18.50

92.50-74=18.50

111-92.5=18.50

(3,55.50)

y=18.5x +b

55.50=18.5(3)+b

55.50=55.50+b

b=0

Tickets to a concert cost $70, or $20 with a student discount. Ticket sales must exceed $500,000 for the group to perform. If 20

Angelina_Jolie [31]

Solution:

Let x = the number of $70 seats sold

Let y = the number of $20 seats sold

x+y ≤ 20,000

70x+20y > 500,000

Which coefficient matrix represents a system of linear equations that has a unique solution ?

finlep [7]

Answer:

Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a coefficient matrix along and not the solution matrix

Since solution matrix is not given we cannot check for infinity solutions.

But we can check whether coefficient matrix is 0 or not

If coefficient matrix is zero, the system is inconsistent and hence no solution.

Option A)

|A|= $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}4&2&6\\2&1&3\\-2&3&-4\end{array}\right] =0$

since II row is a multiple of I row

Hence no solution or infinite

OPtion B

|B|= $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&0&-2\\-7&1&5\\4&-2&0\end{array}\right] \\=2(10)-2(10)=0$

Hence no solution or infinite

Option C

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}6&0&-2\\-2&0&6\\1&-2&0\end{array}\right] \\=2(36-2)=68$

Hence there will be a unique solution

Option D

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}5&10&5\\4&1&4\\-1&-2&-1\end{array}\right] \\=2(10)-2(10)=0$ =0

(since I row is -5 times III row)

Hence there will be no or infinite solution

Option C is the correct answer
