Question

A 21,000 gallon swimming pool contains 9000 gallons of water when a hose is placed in the pool and begins adding water at a rate of 1500 gallons per hour.
Use the Segment tool to plot a graph representing the volume of water in the pool over time from when the hose is placed in the pool until the pool is full.

Will give brainiest

Answer 1

It will take 8 hours to fill the swimming pool. There is already 9,000 gallons filled, that leaves you with 12,000. 12,000 divided by the rate per hour 1,500. That gives you 8.

Answer 2

Answer: The below graph representing the volume of water in the pool over time from when the hose is placed in the pool until the pool is full.

Explanation:

It is given that the capacity of pool is 21,000 gallon.

At initial stage the pool contains 9000 gallons.

The capacity of empty pool is,

$21,000-9,000=12,000$

The water is being added at the rate of 1500 gallons per hour.

So the pool will completely full after,

$time=\frac{12000}{1500} =8 hours$

The two points are (0,9000) and (8,21000).

Plot these two points on a coordinate plane and joint them by a straight line.

And the volume is represented by the equation,

$y=9000+1500x$

Since 9000 is initial value and rate of range is 1500.
