y=2
Step-by-step explanation:
Make an equation of straight line by using the formula :y= mx+c
put the x-value of point (2,4) which is 2 and the gradient,m which is 2 into the straight line equation:
y=2x +c
So you need to find the y-intercept to complete the equation, therefore:
when y=0,
0=2(2)+c
c=-4
next the question ask to find the y-coordinate when x =3, therefore you just need to replace x in the equation with 3:
y=2(3)-4
y=4
Sample Response: Henry will need a total of 15 pints of paint. The 3 pints of yellow were multiplied by 3 to get 9 total, so 2 pints of red would be multiplied by 3 to get 6 total.
