A recipe says it produces the best sweet tea. In addition to using tea bags, the recipe calls for 1/2 cup of sugar for every 1 1/2 cups of water. Write an equation that shows the relationship between the number of cups of sugar to the number of cups of water in this recipe. Let x represent the number of cups of sugar and y represent the number of cups of water

y = 3x

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case, the ratio between sugar and water is 0.5 : 1.5 or 1 : 3.

That means that you need three cups of water for every cup of sugar.

In order to put this into an equation, the slope would be 3/1 or simply 3, and the y-intercept is 0. Even if you used the 0.5 : 1.5 ratio, the slope would be the same since 1.5 / 0.5 = 3.

constant acceleration- a

constant velocity- c

no velocity or acceleration- b

explanation:

for body moving with a constant acceleration, the rate of change of displacement changes over time. this is proven by the increasing gradient of the curve (a) against time.

a body that is moving at constant velocity covers equal distances over equal periods of time, thus the straight line with a constant gradient c.

a stationary body   covers no displacement as time elapses. thus the flat line with   zero gradient.
