The graph shows the numbers of quarts of yellow paint that must be mixed with different numbers of quarts of red paint to make a certain shade of orange paint. Based on the graph, write an equation that shows the relationship between the number of quarts of yellow paint, y, and the number of quarts of red paint, x, needed to make the shade of orange paint.

Enter your equation in the space provided. Enter only your equation.

y = 0.4x

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph shows that the relation is linear, so we can model this relation with a linear equation:

y = ax + b

To find the value of the parameters, we should get two points from the line and use their coordinates in the equation.

From point (0,0), we have:

0 = a*0 + b

b = 0

From point (2,5), we have:

2 = 5a + b

a = 2/5 = 0.4

So the equation we want is:

y = 0.4x

answer: the first graph

step-by-step explanation:

i think there was a typo. you wrote pat brings 3 quarts of ice-cream to the party. each serving of ice-cream is 1 6 quart. how many total servings of ice-cream does pat bring to the party? i think the bold is supposed to be 1/6. so 1 quart of ice cream = 6 servings. 6 * 3 = 18.
