Question

Water is leaking out of a tank at a steady rate the tank started with 75 gallons after 15 hours the tank has 33 gallons of water

Answer 1

The equation will be "
`y=-2.8 x+75`".

Explanation:

The given values are:

Started with,

= 75 gallons

After 15 hrs,

Tank has,

= 33 gallons

Now,

The slope will be:

=
`(33-75)/(15)`

=
`(-42)/(15)`

=
`-2.8`

Thus,

The equation is "
`y=-2.5x+75`".
