Answer:

y = -1/2x + 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

- slope of a perpendicular line is the negative reciprocal of the original slope (2 in this case) so y = -1/2 x + c

- to find c we substitute the values from the given point into the equation

(0) = -1/2*(5) + c

- rearrange and calculate and you'll get c = 5/2 or 2.5

- replace the value of c and now you've got y = -1/2x + 2.5

Answer:

$y=(2/3)x$

The graph in the attached figure

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x-----> the number of pints

y----> the number of servings

For x=3 pints, y=2 servings

This is a proportional variation

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form $y/x=k$ or $y=kx$

The linear equation is equal to

$y=(2/3)x$
