1) What is the slope in context? ( A. No cups of milk, no syrup, B. 1 tbl syrup to 2 cups of milk)
2) What is the y-intercept in context? ( A. No cups of milk, no syrup, B. 1 tbl syrup to 2 cups of milk)
3) What is the equation of the line? (A. y=1/2x , B. y=2x+1)
1) The slope in context is B. 1 tbl syrup to 2 cups of milk. This means that for every 2 cups of milk, you would need 1 tablespoon of syrup.
2) The y-intercept in context is A. No cups of milk, no syrup. This means that when there are no cups of milk, there would be no syrup.
3) The equation of the line would be B. y=2x+1. This equation represents the relationship between the cups of milk (x) and the amount of syrup (y) needed.
