Question

The Martinez family is having their swimming pool filled with water by a professional company. A tanker truck can fill the pool at a constant rate of 150 gallons per minute. Assume the pool contained no water at the beginning of the filling process. Write a linear equation in two variables that represents the number of gallons of water in the Martinez’s pool, y, at any time, x, in minutes.

Answer 1

y=150x

Explanation:

y=mx+b

150 would be the slope (m)

0 would be the y intercept(b)

If x represents minutes the equation would be y=150x
