Which equation of a line passes through the points (3, −1) and (6, 1)?

Answer:

Y = 2/3x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall the general equation for a straight line is

y = mx + b

where m is the gradient and b is the y-intercept

given 2 points whose coordinates are (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), m can be found with the following formula:

m = \frac{y1-y2}{x1-x2}

in this case, x1 = 3, y1 = -1, x2 = 6, y2=1

applying these values to the formula for m will give

m =  (-1 -1) / (3-6) = 2/3

We can see immediately that only the first (top-most) answer has this value for m and we can guess that this is probably the answer.

But we can still check to confirm:

If we substitute this back into the general equation, we get:

y = (2/3)x + b

In order to find the value for b, we substitute any one of the 2 given points back into this equation. Lets choose (6,1)

1 = (2/3)(6) + b

1 = 4 + b

b = -3

Confirm  Y = 2/3x - 3 is the answer.

if it takes 28 drops of green food coloring to turn a gallon of milk green. How many drops would it take to turn an 8 ounces cup
Ber [7]

Answer:

7/4 or 1.75 drops

Step-by-step explanation:

In one gallon there are 128 ounces, if it takes 28 drops of coloring to turn 128 ounces of milk green then:

28/128

7/32

it takes 7/32 drops of food coloring to turn one ounce of milk green.

for 8 ounces, you multiply it by 8:

8*7/32

7/4≈1.75

∴ It would take 1.75 or 7/4 drops of coloring to turn 8 ounces of milk green.
