A farmer can spend no more than $4,000 on fertilizer and seeds. The fertilizer costs $2 per pound and seeds cost $20 per pound.
To summarize the situation, the farmer writes the inequality: 2f + 20s ≤ 4,000, where f is the number of pounds of fertilizer and s is the number of pounds of seeds. Which graph's shaded region shows the possible combinations of fertilizer and seeds the farmer can buy?

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following question:
Point A = (4, 8) = (x1, y1)
Point B = (-3, 5) = (x2, y2)
In order to find the slope any two points given we use the formula to find slope or rise/run.
The reason why the students answer is incorrect because he substituted incorrectly. More specifically the run part of the formula for slope. The formula for slope goes x2 - x1 which means it should be -3 - 4, not -4 - 3, which will give you the answer -7.
Hope this helps.
