The equation that represents the relationship between the number of liters, x, and the number of liquid pints, y is y = 2.11x
<h3>How to determine the equation?</h3>The attached table of values represents the missing piece in the question.
Start by calculating the rate of change using:
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
This gives
m = (14.77 - 10.55)/(7- 5)
Evaluate
m = 2.11
The equation is then calculated using:
y = m(x - x1) + y1
This gives
y = 2.11(x - 5) + 10.55
Evaluate
y = 2.11x - 10.55 + 10.55
y = 2.11x
Hence, the equation that represents the relationship between the number of liters, x, and the number of liquid pints, y is y = 2.11x
