In Mr. Rojo’s art class, students are asked to create an orange background for their new painting. They mixed red paint and yellow paint to create a shade of orange. The table shows the number of pints of red paint, y, and yellow paint, x, different students used to create the orange color. Pints of Yellow (x) Pints of Red (y) 2 3 3 4.5 4 6 6 9 Identify the equation that relates the number of pints of red and yellow paint used. x=1.5y y=1.5x y=4.5x x=4.5y

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 1.5x.

Step-by-step explanation:

2 yellow (x)  

3 red (y)   (3 /2 = 1.5)

3 yellow 4.5 red      (1.5)

4 yellow 6 red         (1.5)

6 yellow 9 red         (1.5)

So the equation is

y = 1.5x

Answer 2

Answer:

y = 1.5x.

Step-by-step explanation:

2 yellow (x)  3 red (y)   (3 /2 = 1.5)

3 yellow 4.5 red      (1.5)

4 yellow 6 red         (1.5)

6 yellow 9 red         (1.5)

So the equation is

y = 1.5x
