She made a mistake when she subtracted x1 from x2.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1 :
a)
The formula used by Lorena to calculate the slope between 2 points is correct
So the statement given in option 1 is not the reason for her mistake
Step 2:
b)
She has taken the fourth and fifth point and correctly used the x and y co ordinates to calculate the slope
Hence the statement in second option is not true
Step 3:
c)
While calculating the slope the denominator is -2 - (-4) . This gives 2 as the answer. But she has made a mistake in this subtraction giving -6 as the answer.
Hence she has made a mistake in subtracting x1 from x2 and this statement is true
Step 4:
d)
She has not made any mistake in subtracting y1 from y2. Hence this statement is not true
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.
