The slope-intercept form: y = mx + b

m-the slope

$\dfrac{x}{-1}+\dfrac{y}{6}=1\\\\-x+\dfrac{y}{6}=1\ \ \ \ |add\ x\ to\ both\ sides\\\\\dfrac{y}{6}=x+1\ \ \ \ |multiply\ both\ sides\ by\ 6\\\\y=6x+6\\\\\\Answer:\boxed{The\ slope\ m=6}$

I need 50 gallons of milk replacer for calves and the powder mixture says it's 6.25 oz for 5 gallons how many oz of powder do I

zubka84 [21]

Answer:

62.5 oz

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the ratio proportion method:

x:50::6.25:5

x = (50x6.25)/5

OR a more simple method is to do this:

5 gallons of milk require 6.25 oz. How many oz of powder do I need to get 10x that amount? Since 50 is 10x5, you do the same thing for 6.25, and get 62.5
