Tiffany has 15 teaspoons of chocolate chips. She uses \(1\cfrac{1}{2}\) teaspoons for each muffin. The total amount of chocolate chips that she has left y after making x muffins can be given by \(\text{y} = -\cfrac{3}{2}\text{x} + 15\). Graph the equation. Then interpret the x- and y-intercepts.
Use Math Tools Miriam has $440 to pay a painter to paint her basement. The painter charges $55 per hour. The equation \(\text{y} = 440 - 55\text{x}\) represents the amount of money y she has after x number of hours worked by the painter. Graph the equation. Then interpret the x- and y-intercepts.
