Answer:

-3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

3x+4y=12

get into y=mx+b form first (m is the slope, b is the intercept)

So, 4y=12-3x

Then y=(12/4)-(3/4)*x

So your m is -3/4

Since you said it must be parallel the slope is the same to ensure they never touch

yulyashka [42]

Their error is that they divided 12 by 30, instead of 30 by 12 in order to get the price per pair

the correct unit price is $2.50 per pair

2.5 * 12 = 30

What times what equals -30 but also can be added together and equal -4

Step2247 [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

xy=-30

y=-30/x

x+y=-4

x-30/x=-4

x²-30=-4x

x²+4x-30=0

$x^2+4x-30=0\\x=\frac{-4\pm\sqrt{16+120} }{2} \\=\frac{-4\pm\sqrt{136} }{2} \\=-2\pm\sqrt{39} \\=-2+\sqrt{39} ,-2-\sqrt{39} \\y=\frac{-4}{-2+\sqrt{39} } ,\frac{4}{2+\sqrt{39} }$ $correction write ~-30 ~in~place~of~-4~in~the~end$
