Answer:
Container A is filling more quickly
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>Let us explain the linear relation</em>
The linear equation is y = m x + b, where
- m is the slope of the line which represents the rate of change (change in y/change in x)
- b is the y-intercept which means the initial amount of y (at x = 0)
<em>If a line represents the amount of water over time, then it represents the rate of filling of the water</em>
∵ There are two containers A and B that have the same size
∵ The two lines represent the amount of water over time in
containers A and B
∴ The slopes of the lines represent the rat of water in the tanks
→ That means the greater slope represents the greater rate
∵ The greater the slope, the steeper the line
∴ The container that represented by the steeper the line is filling quickly
→ The line represents container A is steeper more than the line
represents container B
∴ Container A is filling more quickly
