Answer:

y = -2/3x

Step-by-step explanation:

To write in y=mx+b form, you need the y-intercept (b) and the slope (m).

The y-intercept is the point the line crosses the y-axis. This line crosses the y-axis of (0, 0). This makes the y-intercept equal to 0.

The slope is the rise of the line over the run of the line. Pick two points from the line. It doesn't matter which ones, you will get the right answer regardless.

I picked (0, 0) and (-3, 2). Subtract the x-values from each other, and subtract the y-values from each other.

-3 - 0 = -3 (x)

2 - 0 = 2 (y)

Divide the y by the x to find the slope.

2/-3 = -2/3

Plug in the slope and y-intercept into the equation.

y = mx + b

y = -2/3x + 0

y = -2/3x

The beakers shown below have different precisions. label the amount of water in each of the three beakers to the correct number

san4es73 [151]

The diagram is attached below

Beaker 1: The measurement line is between 32 and 33. There are 5 lines between 32 and 33. Making line is between third line and fourth line(between 6 and 8). So 32.7

Beaker 2: The measurement line is between 30 and 40. We can clearly see the measurement line at 32. So its 32

Beaker 3: The measurement line is between 32.7 and 32.8. We have 10 small lines inbetween them. Measurement line at 4. So its 32.74

(b) the amount of water in each of 3 beakers are not same because we can measure the difference. But they are close to each other.
