The equation of a line in the slope intercept form is expressed as
y = mx + c
Where
m represents slope
c represents y intercept
The equation of the given line is expressed as
3x - 6y = 30
Rearranging it so that it will look like the slope intercept form, it becomes
6y = 3x - 30
Dividing both sides by 6, it becomes
6y/6 = 3x/6 - 30/6
y = x/2 - 5
Looking at the equation, slope, m = 1/2
If two lines are parallel, it means that they have equal slope. This means that the slope of the line parallel to the given line is 1/2
To determine the y intercept, c of the line passing through the point (4, - 9), we would substitute
x = 4, y = - 9 and m = 1/2 into the slope intercept equation. It becomes
- 9 = 1/2 * 4 + c
- 9 = 2 + c
c = - 9 - 2
c = - 11
By substtuting m = 1/2 and c = - 11 into the slope intercept equation, the equation of the line would be
y = x/2 - 11
Answer:
Sticks of butter : 2
Number of cookies : 40
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>Given that :You need 3 sticks of butter for every 24 giant cookies you bake.</em>
<em>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</em>
<em>Sticks of butter Number of cookies</em>
<em> 3 24</em>
<em> x 16</em>
<em>5 y</em>
<em>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</em>
<em>Let the unknown be x and y..</em>
<em>Since you need 3 sticks of butter for every 24 giant cookies you back</em>
<em>Then 24/3 = 8</em>
<em>Since the number of cookies is 16 then 16/8 = 2</em>
<em>Thus x = 2</em>
<em>Next for y.</em>
<em>Since you need 3 sticks of butter for every 24 giant cookies you back</em>
<em>Then 5 * 8 = 40</em>
<em>Thus, y = 40</em>
<em>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</em>
<em>Completed table below:</em>
<em>Sticks of butter Number of cookies</em>
<em> 3 24</em>
2 <em> 16</em>
<em>5 </em><em>40</em>
<em>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</em>

For this case what we can do is the following rule of three:
2/3 of a box ------> 1/2 minutes
x of a box ---------> 1 minute
Clearing x we have:
x = (1 / (1/2)) * (2/3)
Rewriting:
x = 2 * (2/3)
x = 4/3
Answer:
the number of boxes per minute that the machine packs is:
x = 4/3
