Y-3=1/2(x+2)
To find the y-intercept, we must first get the equation in slope intercept form. Start off by distributing 1/2 into the parentheses.
y-3= 1/2x+1
Add 3 to both sides
y= 1/2x+4
The slope is whatever is in front of x, in this case, 1/2. The y-intercept is the number after that which would be 4
0.9x = 450
x = 450/0.9
x = 500
Answer = 500
1 dozen = 12
144 / 12 = 12 dozen
12 dozen/ 3 = 4
They need 4 times the amount of flour:
3 1/4 x 4 = 13
They need 13 cups of flour
