An empty bucket is being filled at a constant rate. after 4 minutes, the depth of the water is 12 inches. the water continues to be filled at that same rate. what is the relationship between the time in minutes, x, and the depth of the water, y?

Every 4 minutes, the depth of the water increases 12 inches. Like let's say after another 4 minutes it'll be 24 inches. I may be wrong but I may be right.
