The lines on a 2-cup liquid measuring cup divide each cup into eighths. If you measure 1 3/4 cups of water, between which two quantities can you be certain that your exact measurement will be?

1 3/4 cups is between the 13th and 15th lines from the bottom.

Step-by-step explanation:

The bottom of the cup has no line and corresponds to 0 eights.

1st line up: 1/8 cup  

2nd line up: 2/8 cup    this is also called 1/4 cup

3rd line up: 3/8 cup

4th line up: 4/8 cup     this is also called 1/2 cup

5th line up: 5/8 cup

6th line up: 6/8 cup     this is also called 3/4 cup

7th line up: 7/8 cup

8th line up: 8/8 cup     this is also called 1 cup

9th line up: 9/8 cup

10th line up: 10/8 cup    this is also called 1 1/4 cup

11th line up: 1 3/8 cup

12th line up: 1 4/8 cup     this is also called 1 1/2 cup

13th line up: 1 5/8 cup

14th line up: 1 6/8 cup    this is also called 1 3/4 cup

15th line up: 1 7/8 cup

16th line up: 1 8/8 cup    this is also called 2 cups

1 3/4 cups is between the 13th and 15th lines from the bottom.

step-by-step explanation:

let

we know that

the y-intercept is the y-coordinate of the point when the value of x is equal to zero

so

the y-coordinate of the point a is the y-intercept

the answer part a) is

the value of y-intercept is

part b) find the slope m

we know that

the value of the slope is equal to

substitute the values

therefore

the answer part b) is

the value of the slope is equal to

the general answer is

the slope is

the value of y-intercept is
