Answer : The correct option is, (A) -5

Step-by-step explanation :

The general form for the formation of a linear equation is:

$(y-y_1)=m\times (x-x_1)$

where,

x and y are the coordinates of x-axis and y-axis respectively.

m is slope of line.

Now we have to calculate the slope of line.

Formula used :

$m=\frac{(y_2-y_1)}{(x_2-x_1)}$

Here,

$(x_1,y_1)=(0,2)$ and $(x_2,y_2)=(1,-3)$ (from the graph)

$m=\frac{(-3-2)}{(1-0)}$

$m=\frac{-5}{1}$

m = -5

Therefore, the slope of line is, -5

Two binders costs$4.36. how many bindees can buy with $55?

Reil [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to find the price for one binder. If 2 binders cost 4.36 you have to divide by 2 to find the price for 1. You should get 2.18. Then you have to see how many times you can multiply 2.18 without having the product go over 2.18. 2.18 • 22 = 47.96, the number closest to 50 without going over. Therefore, she can buy 22 binders.

**PLEASE HELP ASAP** Betsy is analyzing a quadratic function f(x) and a linear function g(x). Will they intersect?

Nina [5.8K]

We analyze the chart and observe that the linear function is $y=x$ , since this relation holds for all values in the table. Drawing this line over the quadratic function shows that they intersect twice, at both the positive and negative x-coordinates.

This is by far the easiest way to solve this problem, but if you're interested in learning how to do it algebraically, read on! To prove this more rigorously, we can find that the equation of the parabola is $y=\frac13 x^2 - 2.$ Substituting in $y=x$ , we find that the intersection points occur where $\frac13 x^2 - 2 = x$ , or $\frac13 x^2 - x - 2 = 0,$ or $x^2 - 3x - 6 = 0.$

This equation doesn't factor nicely, so we use the quadratic formula to learn that $x = \frac{3 \pm \sqrt{3^2 - 4 \cdot 1 \cdot (-6)}}{2} = \frac{3 \pm \sqrt{33}}{2}.$ Hence, the x-coordinates of the intersection points are $\frac{3 + \sqrt{33}}{2}$ , which is positive, and $\frac{3 - \sqrt{33}}{2}$ , which is negative. This proves that there are intersection points on both ends of the axis.
