You would just plug the values into the slope-intercept formula which is y=mx+b. m is representative of the slope, and b is representative of the y-intercept. The equation would be y=-9x+5
Answer:
...
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope would be 2/3 because that would leave pounds when multiplied by cups.
add 0.5 for the weight of the water jug
y = (2/3)x + 0.5
9x - 37 = - 118
add 37 to both sides
9x - 37 + 37 = -118 + 37
simplify
9x = -81
divide both sides by 9
9x/9 = -81/9
simplify
x = - 9
answer
x = -9
