y = slope (x) + y - intercept
To find the slope we need to find out how much the x's and y's increase or decrease...
To find the y - intercept if any, simply look for coordinates ( 0 , y ) or 0 and a #.

In this case, as time passes, the water level decreases therefore we have a negative slope.
Time is our x and amount (ft) is our y.
On the x side it increases by 2
On the y side it decreases by 10
Now do y over x ==> 10 over 2 and get 5 ==> m
-5 is our slope and 50 is our y - intercept
~~
The "rate of change" is another word for slope.
Well, slope is - 5ft is our slope.
