Answer:

y + 7 = - $\frac{2}{3}$ (x - 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

Where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

Here m = - $\frac{2}{3}$ and (a, b) = (1, - 7), thus

y - (- 7) = - $\frac{2}{3}$ (x - 1), that is

y + 7 = - $\frac{2}{3}$ (x - 1) ← in point- slope form

A recipe calls for 1 ½ cups of flour, 2/3 cup of white sugar, and 1/3 cup of brown sugar. The recipe makes 6 servings. A) How ma

Goryan [66]

A) How many cups of flour are there per serving?

1 ½ cups of flour --------6 servings
? cups of flour ------- 1 serving

1 ½
------------
6

= 3/2 x 1/6
= 1/4

answer: 1/4 cups of flour per serving

B) how many total cups of sugar(white and brown) are there per serving?
total white and brown: 2/3 + 1/3 = 3/3 = 1 cups (combine)

1 cup of sugar (white and brown) --------6 servings
? cups of sugar (white and brown) ------ 1 serving

1
----- = 1/6
6
answer: 1/6 cups of sugar (white and brown) per serving

 (c) Suppose you modify the recipe so that it makes 9 servings. How much more flour do you need for the modified recipe than you need for the original recipe?

3/2 cups of flour --------6 servings
? cups of flour -----------9 servings

9 * 3/2
-----------
6

= (13 1/2) / 6
= 2 1/4

2 1/4 ( 9 servings) - 1 1/2(6 servings) = 3/4 cups

answer: you need 3/4 more cups of flour

What value of Y will satisfy the given equation y divided by 2y — 15 = 7/5

guapka [62]

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{\sf y = \frac{41}{5} \ OR \ y = 8\frac{1}{5} }$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sf 2y-15 = \frac{7}{5} \\\\Adding \ 15 \ to \ both \ sides\\\\2y = \frac{7}{5} + 15\\\\2y = \frac{7+75}{5} \\\\2y = \frac{82}{5} \\\\Dividing \ both \ sides \ bu 2\\\\y = \frac{82}{5*2} \\\\y = \frac{41}{5}$
