Hi there!
The two trapezoids are similar, so we can determine a common scale factor:
OL/UR = NM/TS
9/3 = 6/2
3 = 3
Trapezoid ONML is 3x larger than UTSR, so:
RS = 4, LM = y
3RS = LM
3 · 4 = y = 12.
Find x using the same method:
3UT = ON
3(2x+1) = 4x + 9
6x + 3 = 4x + 9
2x = 6
x = 3.
It’s C because the y-intercept is where the point intersects on the y-axis and the slope goes up one and over 2 to the left making it negative
14/2.99=1/x
14x=2.99(1)
x=2.99/14
x=0.213571429
Assuming that the pool was drained at a constant rate, the speed at which it was drained can be expressed as a function of time. In this case, the pool level will be expressed in feet per hour.
The time changed by 4 hours (6-2), and the level of the pool changed by -8 feet (2-10). Diving the feet by the hours to get the rate of decreasing depth, we find that the rate equals -2 feet/hour.
