From inspecting the graph, you can identify the y-intercept and the slope of the line shown.
The y-intercept is 200 gallons.
The slope is
75-200
m = ------------- = -12.5 gallons/minute
10 - 0
Thus, y = 200 gallons - [12.5 gallons/minute ]t
To answer the 2nd question, let t = 12 minutes and calculate y(12).
To determine how long it wld take to empty the tank, set the above formula equal to zero and solve the resulting equation for t.

Answer:
y = 7x - 10
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
Calculate m using the slope formula
m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (2, 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (1, - 3)
m =
=
= 7, thus
y = 7x + c ← is the partial equation
To find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation
Using (2, 4), then
4 = 14 + c ⇒ c = 4 - 14 = - 10
y = 7x - 10 ← equation of line
