A pool has some initial amount of water in it. Then it starts being filled so the water level rises at

a rate of 6 centimeters per minute. After 20 minutes, the water level is 220 centimeters.
Graph the relationship between the pool's water level (in centimeters) and time (in inches minutes).

Answer:

To graph the relationship between the pool's water level and time, we can start by creating a table of values for the water level at different times. Here is an example of such a table:

Time (minutes) Water Level (centimeters)

0 0

1 6

2 12

3 18

4 24

5 30

6 36

7 42

8 48

9 54

10 60

11 66

12 72

13 78

14 84

15 90

16 96

17 102

18 108

19 114

20 120

We can then plot these values on a graph, with the time on the x-axis and the water level on the y-axis. The resulting graph would be a straight line that slopes upwards, starting at the origin (0, 0) and ending at (20, 120).

The graph shows that the water level in the pool increases linearly with time. The slope of the line represents the rate at which the water level is increasing, which in this case is 6 centimeters per minute.
