A pump removes 1000 gal of water from a pool at a constant rate of 50 gal/min.
a. Write an equation to find the amount of water y in the pool after t minutes
y = 1000 - 50t
-------------------.
b. Graph the equation and interpret the t- and the y-intercepts.
=======================
t-intercept = 20 means "the pool has no water when the time is 20 seconds.
y-intercept = 1000 means "when the time is zero the pool has 1000 gallons".
=====================
