Question

You use a garden hose to fill a wading pool. If the water level rises 17 centimeters every 4 minutes and you record the data point of ​(​12,y), what is the value of​ y? Use slope to justify your answer

Answer 1

51

Explanation:

so we can use the variable x for minutes & y for water level. (4,17) is what we start with. its asking after 12 minutes what is the water level, 4 x 3 is 12 so we would multiply 17 x 3 as well which is 51.
