Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Explanation:

Given the equation :

y = 12x − 25

The initial depth of groundwater being held by a storage tank which extends downward below the ground surface is - 25. The rate of change in depth the groundwater per unit of Rainfall is 12. Hence, a linear model which could model the depth of water in the tank in the described scenario is ;

y = 12x − 25

The rate of change in depth of ground water, y per unit change in number of Rainfall, x gives the slope Coefficient, which equals 12

The intercept value, which is the initial depth of groundwater before, it started raining is - 25
