The first thing I should do with these two points is find the slope of the line.
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (-1 - 7)/(-9 - -9) m = -8/0
The slope is undefined. We cannot divide by 0. This makes sense because the points (-9, 7) and (-9, -1) would be right on top of each other. This is a vertical line that has an x-intercept at -9.
if you are multiplying by 5, then the blue needs to be 25 quarts and the yellow needs to be 15 quarts not 9. If you are multiplying by 3 then it would be 9 quarts yellow and 15 quarts blue. hope this helps :)
