Answer:

y = -1/6x + 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the equation of line

y_2 - y_1 / x_2 - x_1 = y - y_1 / x_1

Using the information we are provided with

( -3, 0.5)(3 , -0.5)

y_1 = 0.5

x_1 = -3

x_2 = 3

y_2 = -0.5

-0.5 - 0.5 / 3- (-3) = y - 0.5 / x - (-3)

-0.5 - 0.5 / 3 +3 = y - 0.5 / x + 3

-1 / 6 = y - 0.5 / x + 3

Cross multiply

-1(x + 3) = 6(y - 0.5)

Open the brackets

-x - 3 = 6y - 3

-x - 3 + 3 = 6y

-x + 0 = 6y

Divide through by 6 to get y

Following the eqn y = mx + C

-x + 0 / 6 = 6y / 6

y = -x + 0 / 6

We can separate it

y = -x / 6 + 0/6

y = -1/6x + 0

Therefore, the equation of the line is

y = -1/6x + 0

Examine the table of equivalent ratios and complete this statement. For 5 servings, the ratio of cups of water to cups of juice
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:     This is five-fold proportion

The first ratio gives solution namely

We will write general proportion  

a:b= c:d= e:f = g:h= i:j = k

According to this the first ratio gives coefficient k

When we divide 24/2 =12 our coefficient k=12

In the second ratio we will multiply 3 with 12 and get 36.

In the third ratio we will multiplu 5.5 with 12 and get 66.

In the fourth we will divide 108 with 12 and get 9.

In the fifth we will multiply 15 with 12 and get 180.

Finally the ratio is 24:2=36:3=66:5.5=108:9=180:15
