Part A.
Consider a punch containing L liters.
60% of these that is
is grape juice, and the rest, 0.4 L is lemon-soda.
so, for the variable L, the total amount of punch, the total amount of grape juice is 0.6 L
and the amount of lemon soda in the punch is 0.4L
Part B.
For L=2, we substitute and get:
0.6 L=0.6 * 2 liters = 1.2 liters of grape juice
0.4 L = 0.4 * 2 liters = 0.8 liters of lemon soda.
You find your slope with the equation
(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
(-1-2)/ -4-1.5)
(-3)/(-5.5)
.54x is your slope
you then plug that into your equation.
y=mx+b
y=.54x+b
you substitute one of our coordinates.
(-4,-1)
-1=.54(-4)+b
-1=-3.45+b
+3.45
2.45=b
your equation is
y=.54x+2.45
standard form
y-.54x=2.45
The seals final elevation is 9 feet below sea level.
