Help me with this problem
Answer:
Part A:
Slope-intercept form ⇒ y = mx +
Where:
m = slope ⇒ (y₂-y₁) / (x₂-x₁)
b is the y-intercept = 44
Find the slope:
m = (0-44) / (8-0)
m = -44/8
m = -11/2
Equation in slope-intercept form:
y = -11x/2 + 44
Part B:
x=0 and y=44
Originally, Jake had 44 cups of butter.
Part C:
Batch of cookies: x = 1
Substitute to the equation:
y = -11x/2 + 44
y = -11(1)/2 + 88/2
y = -11/ + 88/2
y = 77/2 or 38 ¹/₂
Jake used 38 ¹/₂ cups of butter for the first batch of chocolate chip cookies.
