Question

A refreshment stand makes 2 large servings of frozen yogurt from 5 pints. Graph the line and then writeIts equation. Let the x-axis represent the number of pints and the y -axis represent the number ofservings. Use only fractional form, if necessary.

Answer 1

Given:

A refreshment stand makes 2 large servings of frozen yogurt from 5 pints.

Let the number pints = x

And the number of the serving the frozen yogurt = y

so, we will have the equation:

`y=k\cdot x`

when x = 5, y = 2

so,

`\begin{gathered} 2=k\cdot5 \\ k=(2)/(5) \end{gathered}`

so, the relation between (x) and (y) will be:

`y=(2)/(5)x`

the graph of the line will be as shown in the following picture:
