75(2)+.20x=238
You then solve for x by multiplying 75 by 2 to get 150. Then subtract 150 from both sides of the equation, so this is what you get .20x=88. Finally divide by .20 on both sides to get x= 440
We see that we have some nasty sqrt signs
try to use x values that yield perfect squares inside the sqrt sign like 1,4,9,16, or ones that make the inside 0
first one
y=-4+√(x+2)
try some nice values for ease of graphing
ok so try x=-2
y=-4
(-2,-4)
x=-1
y=-3
(-1,-3)
x=-1
y=-3
(-1,-2)
if x=7
y=-1
(7,-1)
if x=14
y=0
(14,0)
so we have
(-2,-4)
(-1,-3)
(2,-2)
(7,-1)
(14,0)
second one
y=2+√(x+1)
if x=-1
y=2
(-1,2)
if x=0
y=3
(0,3)
if x=3
y=4
(3,4)
if x=8
y=5
(8,5)
we have
(0,3)
(-1,2)
(3,4)
(8,5)
first one
y=-4+√(x+2)
so we have
(-2,-4)
(-1,-3)
(2,-2)
(7,-1)
(14,0)
second one
y=2+√(x+1)
(0,3)
(-1,2)
(3,4)
(8,5)
First off, let's convert the mixed fractions to "improper", keeping in mind that the water is increasing every passing hour by 1 and 1/4.

The slope of the line is - 3/2
