Answer:

2x+y = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for a line is y = mx+b where m is the lope and b is the y intercept

y = -2x+b

substitute the point into x and y

8 = -2(6) +b

8 = -12+b

Add 12 to each side

20 =b

y = -2x+20

Add 2x to each side

2x+y = 20

daser333 [38]

Answer:

$\frac{2}{27}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given that melissa used 4 cups of sugar to bake 54 cookies.

That means 1 cup of sugar will be used to bake $\frac{54}{4}=\frac{27}{2}$ by unitary method

We have to find the ratio of cups to the cookies

We are using 1 cup of sugar

And cookies will be $\frac{27}{2}$

$\text{equivalent ratio}=\frac{1}{\frac{27}{2}}=\frac{2}{27}$
