Answer:

y= -5x +24

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Slope-intercept form</u>

y= mx +c, where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept.

Given that the slope is -5, m= -5.

Substitute m= -5 into the equation:

y= -5x +c

To find the value of c, substitute a pair of coordinates that the line passes through into the equation:

When x= 3, y= 9,

9= -5(3) +c

9= -15 +c

c= 9 +15

c= 24

Thus, the equation of the line is y= -5x +24.

Mr. Rivera pours 2 cups of blue paint into a jar for each art station. How many jars can

Semmy [17]

Given :

Mr. Rivera pours 2 cups of blue paint into a jar for each art station.

1 cup = 8 ounces.

1 gallon = 128 ounces.

To Find :

How many jars can he fill with 1 gallon of blue paint.

Solution :

Since, a jar is filled with 2 cups.

1 jar = 2 × 8 = 16 ounces.

So, number of jars required to fill 1 gallon of blue paint is :

$n=\dfrac{128}{16}\\\\n=8$

Therefore, 8 jars are required to fill 1 gallon of blue paint.

Hence, this is the required solution.
