Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Graph attached represents the relation between amount of oil left in the leaky oil tanker and time.
a). Gradient of the line =
=
= -5
A-intercept = 160
b). Linear equation to represent the given relation in the graph will be,
A = (-5)t + 160
c). At t = 15 minutes,
A = (-5)(15) + 160
A = -75 + 160
A = 85 liters
d). This model is applicable till the container gets fully emptied.
For A = 0,
0 = -5t + 160
t =
t = 32 minutes
Therefore, this model is reasonable up to t = 32 minutes.

For this case we have that by definition, the equation of the line of the slope-intersection form is given by:
Where:
m: It's the slope
b: It is the cut-off point with the y axis
We have two points through which the line passes:
We found the slope:
Substituting we have:
Thus, the equation is of the form:
We substitute one of the points and find the cut-off point:
Finally, the equation is:
