Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
I am assuming the tank starts empty. It means that in 1 hour the tank has half that water, or 3600 gallons. And the good thing of lines passing through 0.0 is that the value at 1 IS the slope we need. ie 3600.
At this point it's easy to find that if in 2 hours it filled 1/10th of the tank, in 20 hours the tank will be full.

Answer:
It is difficult to give a specific answer without your scenario but maybe this may help you out a bit.
Let's say you have a line like the one attached:
I labelled certain points b and u so you can use it as a reference. Now all you need to do is count all the points that lie on the same line and are found between.
In this case it would be point d and point e because the rest of the points do not line on the same line. For this problem particular scenario, the answer would be 2.
