Cate solved an inequality to find c, the possible number of cats that a shelter can house. she found that c < 28. which statement best describes a possible solution to cate's problem? the shelter can house 15.6 cats because 15.6 < 28. the shelter can house –8 cats because –8 < 28. the shelter can house 17 cats because 17 < 28. the shelter can house 28 cats because 28 < 28.

The answer to your question is: the third option.

Step-by-step explanation:

   c < 28

Cate' problem

The shelter can house 15.6 cats because 15.6 < 28. This option is incorrect because cats are integers we can not count 0.6 cats.

The shelter can house –8 cats because –8 < 28. -8 is a negative number, cats are not negative so this option is wrong.

The shelter can house 17 cats because 17 < 28. This is the correct option, 17 is an integer lower than 28.

The shelter can house 28 cats because 28 < 28. 28 is not consider by the inequality, so this option is wrong.

for this case we have by definition, if two lines are perpendicular, then the product of their slopes is -1.

then, given the following line:

so,

we are looking for m_ {2}:

then, the line is given by:

we find "b" replacing the given point:

finally, the equation is:

option c

there are infinitely many solutions.
