Ответ:
A. 55 gallons of water
B.![y=55-2.5x](/tpl/images/0434/9793/39ace.png)
C. 12 miinutes
Step-by-step explanation:
The rain barrel loses water at the rate of 2.5 gallons per minute.
Part A. After seven minutes, the rain barrel contains 37.5 gallons. During those seven minutes, the barrel loses 2.5 gallons per minute, so it loses
Therefore, initially, there were
Part B.
The slope is m = -2.5 (the barrel loses water, so the slope is negative).
Initially there were 55 gallons of water.
Hence, the equation in point-slope form to model the number of gallons (y) of water in the rain barrel after (x) minutes is
Part C.
To find the number of minutes it takes for the rain barrel to drain so it contains 25 gallons of water, substitute y = 25 and find x:
Ответ:
it's C
