Find a Line

Find the equation of a line that passes through −3 on the y axis and 2 on the x axis.

Coin Stacks II

It is possible to mix coins in a stack to get a stack a whole number of millimeters high. For example, a stack of 2 nickels and 2 pennies has a height of exactly 2 × 1.95 + 2 × 1.55 = 7 mm. Can you find a stack of coins with a whole number of millimeters less than 7?

Coin Stacks

US coins have different thicknesses as specified below:

Penny	1.55 mm
Nickel	1.95 mm
Dime	1.35 mm
Quarter	1.75 mm

Two stacks of coins may have the same height but a different number of coins. For example, a stack of 39 pennies has a height of 39 × 1.55 = 60.45 mm, and a stack of 31 nickels also has a height of 31 × 1.95 = 60.45 mm. Find the smallest number of dimes and quarters that can likewise be made into two stacks the same height.
