Question

The table below shows the relationship between the number of teaspoons of baking powder in a mix and the height of fudge brownies in centimeters. Which equation represents the height of fudge brownies with x teaspoons of baking powder?

Making Fudge Brownies
Baking Powder (tsp) 5 6 7 8
Height of Brownies (cm) 2.15 2.43 2.71 2.99
A.
y = 0.28x + 0.75
B.
y = 0.75x +0.56
C.
y = 0.75x + 0.28
D.
y = 0.56x + 0.75

Answer 1

A.

y = 0.28x + 0.75

Explanation:

Check all that applies using teaspoons of baking powder, x = 5

A.

y = 0.28x + 0.75

When x = 5

y = 0.28x + 0.75

= 0.28(5) + 0.75

= 1.4 + 0.75

y = 2.15

B.

y = 0.75x +0.56

When x = 5

y = 0.75x +0.56

= 0.75(5) + 0.56

= 3.75 + 0.56

= 4.31

C.

y = 0.75x + 0.28

When x = 5

y = 0.75x + 0.28

= 0.75(5) + 0.28

= 3.75 + 0.28

= 4.03

D.

y = 0.56x + 0.75

When x = 5

y = 0.56x + 0.75

= 0.56(5) + 0.75

= 2.8 + 0.75

= 3.55

The equation represents the height of fudge brownies with x teaspoons of baking powder is

y = 0.28x + 0.75
