The general equation of a line is expressed as y = mx + b where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept. The y-intercept is the value of y when the graph crosses the y- axis. Consequently, it is the value of y when x is zero. The slope is the rate of change of y with respect to the change in x. It is calculated from the ratio of the difference of two y values and the difference of the corresponding x values. Given the points would result to a line, we can determine those elements for the line as follows:
b = 36
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
m = (27 - 36) / (3 -0) = -3
So, the equation of the line would be y = -3x + 36.
Answer:
$1.33
Step-by-step explanation:
15.96 divided by 12 = $1.33
8/ (1 1/2) = 36/x....8 muffins to 1 1/2 tsp = 36 ( 3 doz) muffins to x tsp
this is a proportion, so we cross multiply
(8)(x) = (1 1/2)(36)
8x = 3/2 * 36
8x = 108/2
8x = 54
x = 54/8
x = 6 3/4 <=== 6 3/4 tsps are needed to make 3 doz muffins
Answer:
you will need to subtract 15% from $12 and get 10.20 now times that by 5 and you will get $51.
