Question

Travis is filling a bathtub with water. He made a table showing the number of gallons of water in the bathtub based on the number of minutes the faucet was on.
Which graph best shows the relationship between the number of minutes and the number of gallons?

Answer 1

Lol another one?

So I looked at the graphs and the only one that actually even reaches 75 is the dotted one on the left. The one in the middle obviously doesn't go anywhere and the one on the right goes to 65, not 75.

Answer 2

Answer: Graph A (the one with the plotted dots)

Step-by-step explanation: The answer is the first graph because it is the only graph that corresponds with the function f(x) producing a linear plot with a positive slope of 8.3

The second graph probably explains a situation where the drain for the bathtub is unplugged so that the amount of water going into it is the same that leaves, no matter the length of time.

The third graph explains a gradual increase in the volume of water with increasing lengths of time.

At x = 3 mins; f(x) = 20

At x = 6 mins; f(x) = 40

At x = 9 mins; f(x) = 60

Giving it a positive slope of 6.6

Therefore, the first graph best shows the relationship between x and f(x).
