Answer:
-7/2
Step-by-step explanation:
y2-y1 / x2-x1
-5-10 / -2-4
-15 / -6
-7 / -2
= -7/2
I believe the fastest way to solve this problem is to take any two of the given points and to find the slope and y-intercept of the line connecting those two points.
Let's choose the 2 given points (-3,16) and (-1,12).
Going from the first point to the second, the increase in x is 2 and the increase in y is actually a decrease: -4. Thus, the slope of the line connecting these two points is m = -4/2, or m = -2.
Now use the slope-intercept formula to find the y-intercept, b.
One point on the line is (-3,16), and the slope is m = -2.
Thus, the slope-intercept formula y = mx + b becomes 16 = -2(-3) + b.
Here, b comes out to 10.
So now we have the slope and the y-intercept. Write the equation:
y = mx + b becomes y=-2x+10. Which of the four given answer choices is the correct one?
90 volume because 3 multiples by 30 = 90
Answer: 72 grams of tea
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, we are informed that Yvette uses 6grams of tea leaves to make 24 fluid ounces of tea. This means that for 1 gram of tea leaves, she'll use:
= 24/6
= 4 fluid ounces of tea
Since, 1 gram of tea leaves will be used to make 4 fluid ounces of tea, therefore, the number of grams of tea leaves that will be used to make 288 fluid ounces of tea will be:
= 288/4
= 72 grams of tea
