treat it as having 2 ordered pairs
(28, 8) and (47,17) in the form (m,g)
slope = (17-8)/(47-28) = 9/19
using (28,8)
g-8 = (9/19)(m-28)
19g - 152 =9m - 252
9m - 19g = 100
or
-19g = -9m + 100
g =(9/19)m - 100/19
in a lab experiment 8 grams of acid were produced in 28 minutes and 17 grams in 47 minutes. Let g be the number of grams and m be the number of minutes. Find a linear equation that you could use to calculate g for any number of minutes
