A large tank of sterile water holds 200 gallons . It is leaking at an unknown rate. At 4:30 pm the tank had 137 gallons and at 7

:00 pm the tank had 115 gallons. Assuming the tank was full when the leak began , write a function to estimate how much water is in the tank. now find the time at which the tank began leaking and the time at which the tank will be empty.

Answer:

1. 8.8 gallons per hour

2. 9:20 am

3. 8:04 am

Step-by-step explanation:

The tank lost 22 gallons of water in 150 minutes (2.5 hours)

This is a rate of 0.14666 gallons per minute or 8.8 gallons per hour

The function: 200 - 0.147(x)

So at 4:30 pm, the tank lost 63 gallons. So at a rate of 8.8 gallons per hour, that means it has been leaking for 7.16 (.16 hours = 9.6 minutes) hours.

So it has been leaking since 9:20 am.

In order for it to completely empty, it needs to drain 115 gallons of water.

At a rate of 8.8 gallons per hour, that means it needs 13.068 hours or 13 hours and 4 minutes.

So it will be empty at 8:04 am.

Write the equation of a line that passes through the points (−3, 7) and (3, 3)
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

You can write an equation of a line conveniently by point-slope form. It's in the form of y -a = m(x -b) where (b,a) is the coordinates of a point that's on the line and m is the slope of the line.

Now choose a point (It doesn't really matter which one) and plug that in the equation. I'll choose (-3,7) where a = 7 and b = -3

y -a = m(x -b) \\ y -7 = m(x -(-3)) \\ y -7 = m(x +3)

The next thing we have to do now is finding the slope, m, where it's equal to \frac{y_{2} -y_{1}}{x_{2} -x_{1}}\\. I'll make (-3,7) point 1 and (3,3) point 2.

m = \frac{3 - 7}{3 -(-3)} \\ m = \frac{3 - 7}{3 +3} \\ m = \frac{-4}{6} \\ m = -\frac{2}{3}

Now let's plug that to our equation.

y -7 = m(x +3) \\ y -7 = -\frac{2}{3}(x +3)

Now we have the equation but out of all the choices it seemed that all of them are in slope-intercept form all you have to do now is make our equation rewrite it in slope-intercept form.

y -7 = -\frac{2}{3}(x +3)\\ y -7 = -\frac{2}{3}x -\frac{2}{3}(3) \\ y - 7 = -\frac{2}{3}x -2\\ y = -\frac{2}{3}x +5

<h3>Answer:</h3>

y = -\frac{2}{3}x +5\\ is your equation.
