For the question : Rahul made three indian clay curry pots. he wants to see if he can place them in the oven at the same time.

the diameter of the second pot is 3/4 of the diameter of his first pot.

the diameter of the third pot is 5/2 cm wider than the diameter of his second pot.

the sum of the diameters of the three pots is 47.5

let y represent the diameter of rahuls first pot.

what equation represents the sum of the diameters of all three pots and what is the value of y?

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?
