Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form or
In a proportional relationship the constant of proportionality k is equal to the slope m of the line and the line passes through the origin
Let
x -----> the number of minutes
y ----> the water level in centimeters
In this problem we have a proportional relationship between the variables x and y
Find the value of k
For x=6 min, y=11 cm
-----> the slope is equal to the constant of proportionality k
The linear equation is
so
For (12,y)
we have
x=12 min
substitute in the equation and solve for y
