Answer:

y = -1.667(x) + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope intercept form = (y = mx+b)

X = 6

Y = -2

Y-int = 8

Substitute the values

-2 = m(6) + 8

-10 = m(6)

-1.667 = m

Rounded to the nearest hundredth, what is the positive solution to the quadratic equation 0 = 2x2 + 3x – 8? Quadratic formula: x

Lynna [10]

ANSWER

1.39

EXPLANATION

The given quadratic equation is

$0 = 2 {x}^{2} + 3x - 8$

This is the same as,

$2 {x}^{2} + 3x - 8 = 0$

Comparing to

$a {x}^{2} + bx + c = 0$

We have

a=2, b=3,c=-8

Using the quadratic formula, the solution is given by:

$x = \frac{ - b \pm \: \sqrt{ {b}^{2} - 4ac} }{2a}$

We substitute the values to get,

$x = \frac{ - 3\pm \: \sqrt{ {3}^{2} - 4(2)( - 8)} }{2(2)}$

$x = \frac{ - 3\pm \: \sqrt{ 73} }{4}$

The positive root is

$x = \frac{ - 3 + \: \sqrt{ 73} }{4} = 1.39$

to the nearest hundredth.

luda_lava [24]

Answer:

The question is lacking the detail of the price of the ice cream cones.

Assuming the ice cream cones cost $2 each then she would have to sell;

= 250/2

= 125 ice cream cones

<em>If she sells 125 ice cream cones, she will be able to raise $250 if the cones are sold at $2 each. </em>
