Answer:

See Below

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, line needs to be parallel. Therefore, it should have the same slope.

y = -2x + b

Plugin the points and solve for y-intercept

(-1,7)

7 = -2(-1) + b

7 = 2 + b

-2 -2

5 = b

Plug it all in

y = -2x +5

You use a garden hose to fill a wading pool. If the water level rises 16 centimeters every 7 minutes

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Rise=16, run=7. Slope is rise/run, and therefore is 16/7. The run is considered to be the x coordinate. Since the x coordinate on the point is 21, we know it has moved 3 exact points away from the origin (21/7=3). We can use this movement of 3 exact points to determine the y coordinate as well. Since the rise (y) is 16 for every exact point on a graph, we know the graph has risen 48 units (16x3=48). So, the point ends up being (21,48). The rate of change is 16cm per 7 minutes, or 2.28cm/minute. The equation is Y=(16/7)X (no y intercept because the graph starts at the origin). The equation gives you the y value of 48 when x is equal to 21.
