<h2>Answer:</h2>

The number of solutions will be one.

( i.e. the system of equation has a unique solution )

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

We are given a system of equations such that:

One of the equation has a negative reciprocal slope as compared to the other.

This means that the two lines are perpendicular.

Hence, the two lines will definitely meet or intersect at just one point and at right angles.

Also we know that the solutions of a system of linear equations are the points where the two lines intersect.

Hence, we will have just one solution.

( since here the two lines will intersect at just one point )

A curve passes through the point ????0, 5???? and has the property that the slope of the curve at every point P is twice the y-c

Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer: $y=2x^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Curve passes through $\left ( 0,5\right )$

Also the slope of the curve at every point p is twice the Y-coordinate of p

Let the coordinate of p be $\left ( x,y\right )$

Therefore

$\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} x}=2y$

$\frac{dy}{y}=2dx$

Integrating both sides

$\int \frac{dy}{y}=\int 2dx$

$\ln y=2x+c$

Substituting values

$\ln 5=c$

$\ln \frac{y}{5}=2x$

$y=2x^2$

Clark buys 4 pints of ice cream for $16.39 . What is the cost per cup of ice cream? Round your answer to the nearest, cent if ne

solniwko [45]

Hello! We can go ahead and eliminate C and D, because those answers don't make any sense. There are 2 cups in 1 pint and there are 4 pints. 2 * 4 is 8. There are 8 cups in 4 pints. The cost for that much ice cream is $16.39. To dins the cost per cup, let's divide that number by the number of cups, which is 8. 16.39/8 is 2.04875 or 2.05 when rounded to the nearest hundredth. The cost for a cup of ice cream is $2.05. The answer is A: $2.05.

The cost of the slice of pizza is $1.00. this is because 3.50 - 2.50 is 1.00.

hope it helps :)
