You can find the slope of a linear function by taking two points and finding the change in y over change in x.
Hm, but the values you gave for the tables don't make sense for a linear function/relationship. But let's just pick two points as an example.
So two points you can pick are (-2, 13) and (1, -3).
The slope, change in y over change in x is in other words (y2 - y1 / x2 - x1), where (x1, y1) is one point and (x2, y2) is another.
(-3 - 13) / (1 - -2) = -16/3 = -(16/3)
Or you could have switched up the order of those coordinates but you still get the same answer.
(13 - -3) / (-2 - 1) = 16 / (-3) = -(16/3)
-5 is the answer to your question because all you do is plug in -2 into your equation for x
To find how long it would take, you must divide the total amount of gallons of water in the pond by the amount of gallons drained per hour. This would translate to:
4290 ÷ 78
Which would give you the total amount of hours needed to completely drain the pool, aka the answer:
4290 ÷ 78 = 55
$10.18 Add all the numbers then divide by the amount in this case 5
