3.5 each of them will get 3 cookies and will split the last on in half
Y = -3x + 6
y - 6 = -3x
-1/3 y + 2 = x
z = x -3
z = -1/3 y + 2 -3 = -1/3 y - 1
set z = 0
-1/3 y = 1
y = -3
set y = 0
z = - 1
If you would like to know what was the temperature after the increase, you can calculate this using the following step:
the beginning temperature: -9
increased: 37
the temperature after the increase: -9 + 37 = 28oF
The temperature after the increase was 28oF.
Just take any two points from the graph. For example (4, -2) , (0, -3) Slope = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1) = -2-(-3) / 4-0 = 1/4
