Complete Question:

Kim accidentally leaves the water hose running half a day. the graph represents the loss of water during that time. use the graph to complete the following statement:

The rate at which water flows from the hose is *blank* gallons per hour.

See attachment for graph

8 gallons per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Required

Determine the rate of water loss

To get the rate, we simply calculate the slope (m) of the graph using the following formula

$m = \frac{y_1 - y_2}{x_1 - x_2}$

Where the x's and y's represent corresponding values of x and y on the graph

So, we have:

(x_1,y_1) = (5,40)

(x_2,y_2) = (10,80)

$m = \frac{y_1 - y_2}{x_1 - x_2}$ becomes

$m = \frac{40 - 80}{5 - 10}$

$m = \frac{- 40}{- 5}$

$m = \frac{40}{5}$

m = 8

Hence, the rate at which water flows from the hose is 8 gallons per hour

Kim accidentally leaves the water hose running for half a day. The graph represents the loss of wate
