3.) Write a linear function equation, in slope-intercept form, that passes through the point (4,1) and for which m=12.

y = 12x - 47

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 12x + b

1 = 12(4) + b

1 = 48 + b

-47 = b

28 pounds of clothing

Step-by-step explanation:

Here the given table,

Weight of clothing  :       22             28              34             36            

Cups of dye             :        5.5            6.5             8.5              9

Since, the ratio of 22 pounds of clothing and 5.5 cups of dye

=

The ratio of 28 pounds of clothing and 6.5 cups of dye

=

The ratio of 34 pounds of clothing and 8.5 cups of dye

=

The ratio of 36 pounds of clothing and 9 cups of dye

=

Thus, by the above explanation,  we can say that the ratio of the 28 pounds of the cloth and the 6.5 cups is different from other ratios.
