Answer:

<em> y = 4.25x</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

After 2 week he has used 8 1/2 cups of dog food after 5 week he has used 21 1/4 cups, we can write this in coordinate form (x, y) where;

y is the amount of dog food

x is the time in weeks

The coordinates are (2, 8 1/2) and (5, 21 1/4)

get the slope m:

m = y2-y1/x2-x1

m = (21 1/4 - 8 1/2)/5-2

m = (85/4-17/2)/3

m = (85-34/4)/3

m = 51/12

m = 4.25

Get the intercept c:

Substitute any of the points say (2, 17/2) and m = 51/12 into the equation

y = mx+c

17/2 = 51/12(2) + c

17/2 = 51/6 + c

c = 17/2 - 51/6

c = 51-51/6

c = 0

Get the required equation:

substitute m - 4.25 and c = 0 into y = mx+c

y = 4.25x + 0

<em>Hence the required equation is y = 4.25x</em>

<em></em>
