Multiply the numbers on the major axis which are 2 and -9 to get -18. Subtract from that 3*4 = 12. So -18-12 = -30. That's the determinant.
No, the two lines do NOT intersect because they are parallel lines (see the attached image). Both lines have a slope of 2, or 2/1. Recall that slope = rise/run. So this means that we go up 2 and over to the right 1. Lines with the same slope but different y intercepts means that they are parallel. Parallel lines never cross.
In short, the final answer is choice D.
Answer:
28 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
let the time period at which the temperature be equal in both Brownsville and Mesquite Texas be 'x'.
Given,
In Brownsville Texas, the temperature is expected to drop 1.5° each hour and In Mesquite Texas, the temperature is expected to drop 2° each hour.
Now, according to the question,
after 'x' hours,
⇒ 80° - 1.5°(x) = 94° - 2°(x)
⇒ 0.5°(x) = 14°
⇒ x = 28
Hence, Till 28 more hours the temperature in Mesquite Texas be greater than that in Brownsville.
