John bought 3 pineapples and 2 watermelons for $8.50. Sue bought 2 pineapples and 4 watermelons for $13.00. Write and show a sys

AleksAgata [21]

As per your question, total cost of watermelon should end with either 5(for odd quantity) or 0(for even quantity).

If the quantity of watermelon is odd, then the total cost value of pineapple should end with 3 and this is not possible when the cost of pineapple is ₹7.

So let's come to conclusion that the count(quantity) of watermelon should be any one of 0, 2, 4, 6.

If count of watermelon is 6: It will cost ₹30 and for remaining ₹8, we can buy 1 pineapple but still ₹1 will not be utilised. So 1 pineapple is not possible

If count of watermelon is 4: It will cost ₹20 and for remaining ₹18, we can buy 2 pineapple with ₹4 not being utilised. So 2 pineapple is also not possible.

If count of watermelon is 2: It will cost ₹10 and for remaining ₹28, we can buy 4 pineapple with all amount being utilised. We can buy 4 pineapple along with with 2 watermelon for ₹38.

If count of watermelon is 0: It will cost you ₹0 and for remaining ₹38, we can buy 5 pineapple with ₹3 being not utilised. So 5 pineapple is also not possible.

So the answer is 4 pineapple.

What is an equation of the line that passes through the points (0, -7) and (-8, 3)?

avanturin [10]

Answer <u>(assuming it can be in slope-intercept form)</u>:

$y = -\frac{5}{4} x-7$

Step-by-step explanation:

1) First, find the slope of the line by using the slope formula, $m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ . Substitute the x and y values of the given points into the formula and solve:

$m = \frac{(3)-(-7)}{(-8)-(0)}\\m = \frac{3+7}{-8-0} \\m = \frac{10}{-8} \\m = -\frac{5}{4}$

So, the slope is $-\frac{5}{4}$ .

2) Now, use the point-slope formula $y-y_1 = m (x-x_1)$ to write the equation of the line in point-slope form. Substitute real values for the $m$ , $x_1$ , and $y_1$ in the formula.

Since $m$ represents the slope, substitute $-\frac{5}{4}$ in its place. Since $x_1$ and $y_1$ represent the x and y values of one point the line intersects, choose any one of the given points (either one is fine, it will equal the same thing at the end) and substitute its x and y values into the formula as well. (I chose (0, -7), as seen below.) Then, isolate y to put the equation in slope-intercept form and find the following answer:

$y-(-7) = -\frac{5}{4} (x-(0))\\y + 7 = -\frac{5}{4} x\\y = -\frac{5}{4} x-7$
