document.write( "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? \n" ); document.write( "

x=0 when no cakes were baked and y=850 ounces, for a y versus x equation of $\"y=850-0%2A%2818%2F1%29\"$ , or y=850. This is a linear coordinate pair (0,850). Linear equation to relate y and x is $\"y=-18x%2B850\"$ .\r
