The table shows the height of water in a pool as it is being filled. A table showing Height of Water in a Pool with two columns

and six rows. The first column, Time in minutes, has the entries, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10. The second column, Height in inches, has the entries, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24. The slope of the line through the points is 2. Which statement describes how the slope relates to the height of the water in the pool? The height of the water increases 2 inches per minute. The height of the water decreases 2 inches per minute. The height of the water was 2 inches before any water was added. The height of the water will be 2 inches when the pool is filled. help me

Answer:

The height of the water increases 2 inches per minute.

Step-by-step explanation:

the slope is always the ratio of

y coordinate change / x coordinate change

in our case, x is the time (minutes), and y is the water height (inches).

we see, the longer the pool get filled, the higher the water gets. logical, right ?

by checking the data points we see :

with every 2 minutes passing the water height increases by 4 inches.

so, the slope is +4/+2 = 2/1 = 2

and that ratio tells us now the increase of the water height with every fraction or multiple of the measured 2-minute interval.

every 2 minutes 4 inches more.

so, e.g. every 3×2 = 6 minutes we get 3×4 = 12 inches more.

and - every 1/2 × 2 = 1 minute more we get 1/2 × 4 = 2 inches more.

In one day, The Tool Shed rented out 25 self-propelled and riding mowers for a total fee of $900. The dolly rental cost was $20
masha68 [24]

They rented out 5 self-propelled mowers and 20 riding mowers.

Data;

  • Total number of tool rented out = 25
  • Cost of tools rented = $900

<h3>System of Equations</h3>

To solve this problem, we have to write a system of equations to represent the problem.

since we have

  • x = self - propelled mower
  • y = riding mowers

Let's write equations with these variables.

x+y = 25...equation (i)\\20x+40y = 900...equation(ii)

From equation (i)

x+y= 25\\x = 25 - y...equation(iii)

Put equation (iii) into equation (ii)

20x+40y=900\\x = 25-y\\20(25-y)+40y=900\\\\500-20y+40y=900\\500+20y=900\\20y=900-500\\20y=400\\\frac{20y}{20}=\frac{400}{20}\\ y=20

Let's substitute the value of y into equation(i)

x+y =25\\x+20 = 25\\x = 25 - 20\\x = 5

From the calculations above, they rented 5 self-propelled mowers and 20 riding mowers.
