Question

The graph shows the amount of water that remains in a barrel after it begins to leak. The variable x represents the number of days that have passed since the barrel was filled, and y represents the number of gallons of water that remain in the barrel.
What is the slope of the line?
A. -2
B. -1/2
C. 7/16
D. 39/30

Answer 1

A = ( 15 , 15 )

B = ( 6 , 33 )

$slope = \frac{y(b) - y(a)}{x(b) - x(a)}$

$slope = \frac{33 - 15}{ 6 - 15}$

$slope = \frac{18}{ - 9}$

$slope = - 2$

Thanks for watching buddy good luck.
