Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:a+b

Answer 2

B. y=8x +1200

Step-by-step explanation

If the family's well pumps on average 8 gallons of water per minute, then the unit rate of change is 8.

This implies that, the slope of the linear equation that models this situation is

`m = 8`

It was also given that, the well's tank had 1200 gallons of water in the morning.

This implies that the y-intercept of the straight line is

`b = 1200`

The equation is given by:

`y = mx + b`

We substitute the values to obtain:

`y = 8x + 1200`

The amount of water in the tank, y after it has been pumping for x minutes is

`y = 8x + 1200`
