Step 1: Read and understand the problem statement.
You are given (time, depth) pairs of (20 s, 8 cm) and (40 s, 0 cm) and asked to write an equation that describes the relationship of depth (y) to time (x).
The rate of change is (0 cm -8 cm)/(40 s -20 s) = -8 cm/(20 s) = -2/5 cm/s. Then in point-slope form using the second point, the linear function rule is
y = (-2/5)(x -40) +0
You can expand this to
y = (-2/5)x +16
y = -0.4x +16 . . . . . . using a decimal number for the slope
_____
If the bathtubs in your "draining race" start with the same level, the one with the steepest slope (-0.5 cm/s) will win.
Answer:
The answer is,

Step-by-step explanation:
The given product is,

= 
---------------------(1)
Now, the first product to compare is,

= - 0.25 ----------------------------(2)
The second product to compare is,

= 0.5 ------------------------(3)
The 3rd product to compare is,

= 3 ----------------------------(4)
The 4th product to compare is,

= 
= 0.05625 -----------------(5)
Comparing all the values , we get (3) is closest to (1).
Hence, we get, the answer is,

Ok, primero haces estas hostilidades de considerable duración y magnitud. En el uso de las ciencias sociales, se agregan ciertas calificaciones. Los sociólogos suelen aplicar el término a tales conflictos sólo si se inician y conducen de acuerdo con formas socialmente reconocidas. Tratan la guerra como una institución reconocida en la costumbre o en la ley. Los escritores militares suelen limitar el término a las hostilidades en las que los grupos contendientes tienen el mismo poder para hacer que el resultado sea incierto durante un tiempo. Los conflictos armados de estados poderosos con pueblos aislados e impotentes suelen denominarse pacificaciones, expediciones militares o exploraciones; con los estados pequeños, se les llama intervenciones o represalias; y con grupos internos, rebeliones o insurrecciones. Tales incidentes, si la resistencia es lo suficientemente fuerte o prolongada, pueden alcanzar una magnitud que les dé derecho al nombre de "guerra".
The correct answer is: "Graph 1" ; that is, the "first graph to the left" .

<u>Note</u>:
________________________________________________________
The line drawn on the graph shown on the "first graph" — (that is, the graph shown to the far left, among the two graphs provided as answer choices) — reflect the linear equation given:
" y = 6x " ;
and the line shown on the "first graph shown to the left" consists of the coordinates reflected on the table given:
" (0, 0) , (1, 6), (2, 12), (3, 18) " .
___________________________________________________
Note that the "second graph, to the far right, is incorrect; the line provided in the "second graph" shows that:
when "x = 4" , "y = 20" .
This is incorrect; since:
Given the equation:
" y = 6x " ;
→ y = 6(4) ;
→ y = 24 ; NOT "20" ; so "Graph 2" is incorrect.
