Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Remark
You have 2 points to solve the equation y = mx + b. After finding m, use either of the points to find b.
Formula
y = mx + b
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
Solution
- y2 = 13
- y1 = 5
- x2 = 0
- x1 = 24
m = (13 - 5)/(0 - 24)
m = 8 / - 24
m = - 1/3
y = mx + b
y = -1/3 x + b
Use (0,13) as the point.
13 = -1/3 * 0 + b
13 = b
The y intercept = (0,13)
There are 16 cups in a gallon, if you multiply 16 by 3, you get 48. So, there are 3 gallons of milk in the Chef's adjusted recipe.
Hope this helped!
