Question

Hurry !!!A typical barrel of bot-oil contains 70 liters of oil. If a hole in the barrel is causing a constant 6 liters an hour leak, use a function to show the amount of oil in the barrel over time.

Answer 1

Answer:

y = -6x + 70

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the amount of oil in the tank decreases constantly, we need to create a linear function. Using the base form, y = mx + b, we can replace -6 for m because volume decreases by 6 (or increases by -6) each hour, and +70 for b because we start off with 70 liters of oil. So we get y = -6x + 70, with x representing the number of hours, and y representing the volume of oil remaining.
