Answer 1

From the table we can conclude that after 2 minutes the height of the water is increased by 4.

Example: In minute 2 it was 8 inches, in minute 4 it was 12 inches. (12-8=4)

This means that if the height of the water is increased by 4 inches for 2 minutes, then for 1 minute is increased 4/2=2 inches.

The following statement best describes how the slope relates to the height of the water in the pool:

The height of the water increases 2 inches per minute.
