Question

I just really need help I don’t know that much about math I was in special Ed math and got kicked out I just need help and need to be shown what I’m doing

Answer 1

Given:

15 pounds of barrel

10 gallons of water; 98.4 pounds

20 gallons of water; 181.8 pounds

In order to find the equation and graph that matches this, we need to find the following:

y - intercept

slope of the line

In the problem, it was given that the barrel weighs 15 pounds. Meaning, even in an empty barrel, we already have a total weight of 15 pounds.

We let:

x = gallons of water

y = total weight

This means, at x = 0, y = 15.

y - i
