Question

The first graph represent a=450-20t, which describes the relationship between gallons of water in tank and time in minutes. a. Where on the graph can we see 450? Where can we see the -20? b. What do these numbers mean in this situation?
​

Answer 1

Answer:450 is the intercept. We see it when t=0 (where the line cross the y axis). -20 is the slope

Step-by-step explanation: y = 20 is a thing no one would ever solve for but to do it, 20=450-20t -> y =20 when t=(20-450)/20. I don’t know why anyone would ever need to find this value
