Answer:
-1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the formula, (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1). In this case, there is a negative slope.
Start from point, (1, 9) and go to point (4, 8).
Use the formula:
(y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
Y2 = 8
Y1 = 4
X2 = 9
X1 = 1
(8 - 9)/(4 - 1) = -1/3
Therefore, the slope is -1/3
When they have no solutions, the lines are parlaell, or they have the same slope but different y intercept
example
3x+2y=2 and
3x+2y=4 are paralell
also
y=3x+2 and
y=3x+4 are also parlell, no solutions
infinite solutions are when they are the same line
they have the same slope and y intercept
to find out, simplify
3x+2y=4 and
6x+4y=8 are smae lien
also
y=3x+2 and
2y=6x+4 aer the same line
1 solution is when it is none of the above things
a normal thing, where the slopes are differnet
example
y=2x+2
y=3x+2
Suppose that Paolo and Sharon are the only consumers of ice cream cones in a particular market. The following table shows their monthly demand schedules: Price Paolo’s Quantity Demanded Sharon’s Quantity Demanded (Dollars per cone) (Cones) (Cones) 1 8 16 2 5 12 3 3 8 4 1 6 5 0 4 On the following graph, plot Paolo’s demand for ice cream cones using the green points (triangle symbol). Next, plot Sharon’s demand for ice cream cones using the purple points (diamond symbol). Finally, plot the market demand for ice cream cones using the blue points (circle symbol). Note: Line segments will automatically connect the points. Remember to plot from left to right. Paolo’s Demand Sharon’s Demand Market Demand 0 4 8 12 16 20 24 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 PRICE (Dollars per cone) QUANTITY (Cones)
If you showed me the diagram I could give you an answer.
