The equation of the line passing through the points
and
is
. Here
is the slope of the line.
Substituting numerical values,

The equation of the line in standard form is
.
The discriminant of a quadratic equation is a parameter that is used to determine the nature of the roots of the equation. The discriminant can be determined by b2- 4ac. In this case, upon substitution, 25- 4*2*7 = -31 in which the roots are negative and iimaginary.
Answer:
-3/19
Step-by-step explanation:
slope = rise/run = (y1 - y2) / (x1 - x2)
s = (19 - 16) / (-9 -10)
s = 3/-19 = -3/19
Answer: Yes, Daniel has enough money to buy 2 pens.
=========================================================
Explanation:
x = cost of one pencil
y = cost of one pen
4x = cost of 4 pencils
3y = cost of 3 pens
4x+3y = cost of 4 pencils and 3 pens
100 - (4x+3y) = amount Daniel has left = 7 dollars
100-(4x+3y) = 7 is one equation we can form
Another equation we can form is x = y+3 because "each pencil costs $3 more than each pen".
Let's plug that into the first equation and solve for y.
100-(4x+3y) = 7
100-(4(y+3)+3y) = 7
100 - (4y+12+3y) = 7
100 - (7y+12) = 7
100 - 7y - 12 = 7
-7y + 88 = 7
-7y = 7-88
-7y = -81
y = -81/(-7)
y = 11.57 is the cost of one pen
2y = 2*11.57 = 23.14 is the cost of two pens.
Since this is less than $25, this means he has enough to buy two pens. This assumes that we either ignore tax, or the tax is already included in the listed prices.
