3y = 4
First, take the 3 and divide both sides by it.

Answer as fraction:

Answer as decimal: 1.3333
To find the linear equation, use the slope formula y = mx+b, where b is the value of the y-intercept and m is rise/run.
The line rises 1 unit and runs (left to right) -5 units. (you could also say the line runs -1 units and runs 5 units, they will both give the same answer). Rise/run, 1/-5 = -1/5.
The y-intercept is the y value where the line touches the y-axis. In this case, it is +1.
Plug the information into the equation. m = -1/5 and y = 1. y = -1/5x + 1
Answer:
a) 4106.25 gallons
b) $46
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following in the question:
Leakage rate of faucet = 1 oz per minute
Cost of water = $11.20 per 1000 gallons
1 gallon = 128 oz
a) water are wasted in a year
1 hour = 60 minutes
1 day = 24 hours
1 year = 365 days

Amount of water wasted =

Thus, 4106.25 gallons of water is wasted every year.
b) additional money spent

Thus, approximately $46 is the additional money spent on water bill.
