Answer:
A, C
Step-by-step explanation:
The attached graph shows which lines go through the given point. They are ...
y = 1/2x -1 . . . . 1st selection
y = -1/6x +3 . . . 3rd selection
__
The equations can be found algebraically by substituting the given point in the equation and seeing if the result is a true statement.
a) 2 = (1/2)(6) -1 = 3 -1 . . . true
b) 2 = -3(6) . . . . false
c) 2 = -1/6(6) +3 = -1 +3 . . . true
d) 2 = 2/3(6) -1 = 4 -1 . . . . false
e) 2 = 4(6) -2 = 24 -2 . . . . false
f) 2 = -3/2(6) +6 = -9 +6 . . . . false
Answer:
8 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the level of the tank needs to be at two-thirds its original level, then this means that Andrew needs to drain only one-third of the fish tank. Therefore the amount of time it would take can easily be solved with this 2-step equation...
6t = 144 * .... first multiply the right side of the equation
6t = 48 ... next divide both sides by 6
t = 8
Finally, we can see that it will take Andrew 8 minutes to drain the tank to two-thirds of its original level.
