The amount y (in cups) of flour is proportional to the number x of eggs in a recipe. the recipe call for 7 cups of flour for every 5 eggs. a. write equation that represents the solution. b. interpret the slope

Step-by-step explanation:

In a recipe egg and flour are used in the amount y (in cups) of flour to x number of eggs in a recipe and y is proportional to x.

So, we can write y ∝ x

⇒ y = kx  ....... (1) (Where k is the proportionality constant)

Now, given that the recipe calls for 7 cups of flour for every 5 eggs.

Therefore, putting x = 5 and y = 7 in the equation (1) we get

Hence, the equation (1) becomes ......... (2)

Geometrically, this is a straight line passing through the origin and have slope equal to .

Now, this slope interprets the rate of use of flour (in cups) with respect to the unit use of eggs and it has unit cups per egg. (Answer)
