A pool has some initial amount of water in it. Then it starts being filled so the water level rises at a rate of 666 centimeters per minute. After 202020 minutes, the water level is 220220220 centimeters. Graph the relationship between the pool's water level (in centimeters) and time (in minutes).

Answer:


y=6x+100

The graph is drawn below.

Explanation:

Let the minutes passed be
x and height of water level be
y cm.

Given:

Rate of rise of water level,
m = 6\textrm{ cm/min}

When
x=20\textrm{ min},y=220\textrm{ cm}

Therefore, the relationship can be expressed using the point-slope form of an equation if a line.

The point-slope form is given as:


y-y_(1)=m(x-x_(1))

Here,
m=6,x_(1)=20,y_(1)=220

Therefore, the relationship is given as:


y-220=6(x-20)\\y-220=6x-120\\y=6x-120+220\\y=6x+100

Therefore, the relationship between the pool's water level (in centimeters) and time (in minutes) is
y=6x+100.

The graph is shown below.
