Answer:
-4
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation is in slope-intercept format, y=mx+b. The coefficient in front of the x is the slope as represented by the letter m.
Multiply straight across (neg times a neg = a positive)
=28/81
Ok, so increasing a recipe originally for 16 to 24, you need to figure out how many times larger you need the recipe, so divide 24 by 16, and you get 1.5 (one and a half times larger)
You then just need to take each ingredient amount and multiply it by 1.5
2 cans chopped clams x 1.5 = 3 cans
4 cups broth x 1.5 = 6 cups
6 cups milk x 1.5 = 9 cups
4 cups cubed potatoes x 1.5 = 6 cups
Does this make sense?
The product of a negative integer and a positive integer is a negative integer. The product of two positive integers or two negative integers is a positive integer. That means if you multiply two OF the same sign numbers, the product is always positive. SAME.
