This equation is in point-slope form. To change it to standard form, you must distribute -1/2 to (x+4) to get -1/2x-2. Your equation should now be y-8 = -1/2x-2. You should then add 1/2x to both sides (to cancel out -1/2x on the right side). Now, you should have y+1/2x-8 = -2. Finally, add 8 to both sides (to cancel out -8 on the left side) and flip the x and the y to get a final answer of 1/2x+y = 6.

Answer : The amount of margarine needed is 1 kg.

Step-by-step explanation :

First we have to convert volume of syrup from mL to L.

Conversion used:

1 L = 1000 mL

or, 1 mL = 0.001 L

So, 225 mL = 0.225 L

Now we have to calculate the amount of margarine needed.

As, 0.225 L of syrup needed 150 g of margarine
