Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>The picture of the question in the attached figure</em></u>
step 1
we know that
The volume of a rectangular prism is equal to
----> equation A
where
B is the area of the base of the prism
h is the height of the rectangular prism
step 2
The volume of a square pyramid is equal to
-----> equation B
where
B is the area of the square base of pyramid
h is the height of the pyramid
step 3
substitute equation A in equation B
Find the relationship between the volume of a rectangular prism and the volume of a square pyramid
therefore
The slope of the line must be 3
let's check it
To solve for the slope of the line, you must choose two coordinates first and use the formula
Choosing the points (2,6) and (3,9)
substitute
----> is correct
so the 5 gallons ones is 40% acid, how much acid solute is in it anyway? well just 40% of 5 or namely 0.4*5 = 2 gallons.
the 3 gallons one is 50%, likewise it has 0.50 * 3 = 1.5 gallons of acid solute in it.
