Answer:
A) Container X
Step-by-step explanation:
X=2C:6S ratio, now reduce amount but keep the same ratio
X=1C:3S
Y=4C:8S ratio, now reduce amount but keep the same ratio
Y=1C:2S
Container X has the sweeter water because it's ratio of sugar to water is higher.
First we put the equation in y = mx + b form where m is ur slope and b is ur y int.
2x - 5y = 10
-5y = -2x + 10
y = 2/5x - 2.......so ur slope is 2/5 and ur y int is (0,-2) <==
to find ur x int, sub in 0 for y and solve for x
2x - 5y = 10
2x - 5(0) = 10
2x = 10
x = 10/2
x = 5......and ur x int is (5,0) <==
another way to find the y int is to sub in 0 for x and solve for y...but u might as well solve it by putting it in y = mx + b form because that way u have ur slope as well.
