Answer:
Please find a visual representation of the scenario generated with MS Excel
Step-by-step explanation:
The given data on how Kylo fills up the bathtub with water are;
The time it takes to fill the bathtub with 50 gallons of water = 15 minutes
The time it takes to drain 30 gallons from the bathtub = 5 minutes
The time it takes to add 5 gallons of hot water = 2 minutes
The time it takes for all the water to drain out = 4 minutes
The given scenario can be represented visually on the coordinate plane, as follows;
The y-axis represents the amount of water in the bathtub in gallons
The x-axis represents the time from the when Kylo begins to fill the bathtub
The coordinates of points in the visual representation of the given scenario are therefore;
At the start, the bathtub is empty;
y = 0, x = 0
Then we have;
Plotting the number of gallons and the cumulative time values on MS Excel gives a visual representation of the scenario
