Answer:
standard showerhead in Andrew's house dispenses 8 gallons of water per minute. Andrew changed this shower head to an energy-saving one. The equation shows the amount of water dispensed, y, as a function of the number of minutes, x, for the new shower head.
y = 3x
Y=-2x+7 That is the equation written in y=mx+b formula
Distribute to eliminate the parenthesis
x^2 + 2x + 6x + 12 = 60
Combine like terms
x^2 + 8x + 12 = 60
Subtract 60 from both sides
x^2 + 8x - 48 = 0
Factor the equation
(x+12)(x-4)=0
x+12=0
x+4=0
x= -12 and -4
Answer: slope: 3/2
y-intercept: 0,4
