2 cups was our starting point and we were left with 3/8 cups left after he spilled it, we are looking to find how much he spilled.
We could start by making 2 into a fraction so we could minus 3/8 easily.
2 = 16/8 (Two wholes is 16 eights.)
Now solve like a regular subtraction equation.
16/8 - 3/8 = 13/8
Our answer is 13/8 which simplified as a mixed fraction is 1 5/8
We lost 1 and 5/8 cups.
Answer:
No, because it fails the vertical line test
Answer:
The equation of the line is y = -4x + 2
First find out the function for the given table.
Find the slope.
m= (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m=(-1-(-3)) / (-1-(-2))
m=(-1+3) / (-1+2)
m=2/1
m=2
Now equation of line:
y-y1=m(x-x1)
y-(-3)=2(x-(-2))
y+3=2(x+2)
y+3=2x+4
y=2x+1
Now plot these points on the graph, we get the attached graph.
