A tank had 6 liters of water. The tank had a small hole in its base through which water leaked out at a constant rate. The tank

was empty after 4 minutes. If y represents the number of liters of water in the tank and x represents the time in minutes, which graph best represents this situation?

Based on the given problem above, if we analyze it, we are going to look for the graph which with coordinates (0,6) which represents starting out with 6 gallons, and ending at (4,0). So, the graph that best represents this situation would be the first graph on the top left. Hope this answers your question. Have a great day!

Answer:

The graph is attached.

Step-by-step explanation:

We will write an equation in slope-intercept form to represent this situation.  Slope-intercept form is

y = mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

We know that the y-intercept, the initial value, is 6.  This gives us

y = mx+6.

We do not know the rate of change, or slope, of this situation.  We do, however, know that after 4 minutes there is 0 water left in the tank.  Substituting 0 in for y and 4 in for x, we have

0 = m(4)+6

0 = 4m + 6

Subtract 6 from each side:

0-6 = 4m+6-6

-6 = 4m

Divide both sides by 4:

-6/4 = 4m/4

-1.5 = m

This gives us

y = -1.5x + 6.  This can also be written as

y = -3/2x + 6.

To graph this, we begin with the y-intercept, 6.  We go up to 6 on the y-axis and plot a point.

The slope tells us where to find the next point.  Slope is rise/run; our slope is -3/2, so from our y-intercept, we go down 3 and right 2 to make our next point.  Then we draw a line between the points.

What is the value of x?
artcher [175]
By Sine Rule,

x/sin30° = 8/sin90°

x/0.5 = 8/1

So x = 4.

2.<br> what do i put im confused and dont know how to do this
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The two dots on the bottom of this figure define the base of a triangle.  If we now use a compass to draw the blue arcs on either side, as shown, the arcs will intersect at two points.  A straight line drawn through these two points will be perpendicular to the base. The triangle will be isosceles and could be (but doesn't have to be) equilateral.

What is the area of triangle pqr on the grid? a triangle pqr is shown on a grid. the vertex p is on ordered pair 7 and 6, vertex
horsena [70]

P(7,6), Q(1,6), R(4,2)

We have PQ parallel to the x axis. We'll call that the base,

b = 7 - 1 = 6

The altitude is then the y difference h = 6 - 2 = 4

The area is \frac 1 2 bh = \frac 1 2 (6)(4) = 12

Answer: 12 square units


In general we can use the shoelace formula for the area of any polygon given coordinates. We write the points like this:

(7,6), (1,6), (4,2)

(1,6), (4,2), (7,6)

The area is then half the absolute value of the sum of the cross products:

A = \frac 1 2 | 7(6)-6(1) + 1(2)-6(4) + 4(6)-2(7) | = \frac 1 2 |24| = 12
