Answer:
A linear equation in the slope-intercept form is written as:
y = a*x + b
Where a is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
Now, we know that the rate of change (the slope) is -5
Then we just replace a by -5
y = -5*x + b
Now we also know that this line passes through a point, and the point is (3, 0)
This means that the point (3, 0) is a solution for the line equation, so when x = 3, we also have y = 0.
Replacing these values in our equation we get:
0 = -5*3 + b
0 = -15 + b
15 = b
Now we know the value of b, so we can replace it in the line equation to get:
y = -5*a + 15
Which is the complete equation of the line.

Answer: Draw a line through the two points (0,2) and (3,3). See the attached image below.
How did I get these two points? The first point comes from the fact that "at the start, the height is 2 inches" meaning that x = 0 hours and y = 2 inches pair up together. This is show as point A. This is the y intercept as this is the location where the blue graph crosses the vertical y axis.
Point B is found by moving 1 unit up from point A and 3 units to the right to land on (3,3). So we have x = 3 hours and y = 3 inches pair up together.
Note: the slope is rise/run = 1/3 helping us determine the unit rate or speed in which the water is rising (ie the water is rising one-third of an inch per hour)
