Question

PLEASE QUICK!!!

Which situation described relates to the graph?
A) A bath tube has 360 liters of water, and 72 liters of water is added for each additional minute.
B) A bath tube has 360 liters of water, and 96 liters of water is added for each additional minute.
C) A bath tube has 360 liters of water remaining, and 72 liters of water is drained for each additional minute.
D) A bath tube has 360 liters of water remaining, and 96 liters of water is drained for each additional minute.

Answer 1

c

Explanation:

since the line is going downward, it automatically means negative

and the first to answers mention adding which is positive, so A and B should be eliminated

since the slope is 72 (i dont feel like explaining why it is but trust me it is) that means the answer is c

Answer 2

C) A bath tube has 360 liters of water remaining, and 72 liters of water is drained for each additional minute.

Explanation:

First, we could find the slope of the linear relationship shown in the graph.

Using the points (5,0) and (0,360), the slope would be:

`m=(0-360)/(5-0)=(-360)/(5)=-72`

This means the water in the bathtub decreases 72 liters per hour. Starting with 360 liters, to 0 liters after 5 hours.

Therefore, the options that match with these results is C.
