Y=mx+b
b=y intercept
the current one is y=-2
6 units up is -2+6=4
new one is 4
I’m hoping you are talking about:
Factor -1/2 out of -1/2x + 6
If so then the answer is
-1/2(x-3)
The slope between the points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is
slope=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
(0,6) and (5,-4)
x1=0
y1=6
x2=5
y2=-4
slope=(-4-6)/(5-0)=-10/5=-2
slope=-2
Okie doke. So, we are rounding this number to the nearest thousandths place, which is three digits behind the decimal. The rules for rounding are if the number is 5 or more in the digit behind it, the number goes up. If it is 4 or less, the number goes back. In other words, we depend on the digit right of the digit we are rounding to in order to see what we do. The number we are rounding is 1.49882. The 8 is in the thousandths place and the 8 is to the right of that, which is the ten thousandths place. Because 8 is greater than 5, the number rounds up. So the number rounded to the nearest thousandth is 1.500.
Well, we know the amount of cups of sugar it calls per 1/2 teaspoon, so all we need to do to find the amount of cups of sugar per teaspoon is multiply by 2, since 1/2 teaspoon * 2 = 1 teaspoon.
2/3 * 2 = 1 1/3
The unit rate is 1 1/3 cups per teaspoon
Hope that helped =)
