Question 1006257: To bake one cake, Drew uses 18 ounces of flour. He has 850 ounces of flour. Let y represent the ounces of flour left and x represent the number of cakes he has baked. When the situation is modeled on a graph, what are the slope and the y-intercept of the line representing this situation?

x=0 when no cakes were baked and y=850 ounces, for a y versus x equation of , or y=850. This is a linear coordinate pair (0,850). Linear equation to relate y and x is .

Slope is negative 18 in units of ounces flour per cake and y intercept is (0,850).

The labeling on the left part of the x-axis is squashed and reading there is not reliable.
