The amount of sugar
in the starting solution contributes to a 36% concentration, so we have

units of sugar in the solution.
Into this solution, Sharon wants to pour
liters of water to obtain a smaller concentration of sugar in the overall solution:

So Sharon needs to add
liters of water to the solution to get the desired concentration.
Answer: the rate change is 1/3
Step-by-step explanation: because its going up 1/3 not down.
The point slope form of a line is written as y - y1 = m(x -x1)
Where m is the slope and x1 and y1 are the points on the line.
You are told the slope is 3 and the point is (2,-1/2)
x1 is 2 and y1 is -1/2
Replace those in the equation to get:
y- (-1/2) = 3(x-2)
Simplify to get the final answer:
y + 1/2 = 3(x-2)
