Question 203996: Assume the following describes a linear relationship. Write an equation in slope-intercept form. A faucet is used to add water to a large bottle that already contains some water. After it has been filling for 3 seconds, the gauge on the bottle indicates that it contains 10 ounces of water. After it has been filling for 20 seconds, the gauge indicates the bottle contains 24 ounces of water. Let y be the amount of water in the bottle x seconds after the faucet was turned on. Write a linear equation that models the amount of water in the bottle in terms of x.

Question 204219: Using the Library, web resources, and/or other materials, find a real-life application of a linear function. State the application, give the equation of the linear function, and state what the x and y in the application represent. Choose at least two values of x to input into your function and find the corresponding y for each. State, in words, what each x and y means in terms of your real-life application. Please see the following example. Do not use any version of this example in your own post. You may use other variables besides x and y, such as x and W depicted in the following example. Be sure to reference all sources using APA style.
The average lifespan of American women has been tracked, and the linear model for the data is A = 0.2t + 73, where t = 0 corresponds to 1960. This implies that in 1980, t = 20, women lived an average of 77 years. A = 0.2(20) + 73 = 77. In addition, in 2000, t = 40, women lived an average of 81 years. A = 0.2(40) + 73 = 81.

Question 205427: The concept of slope arises in many practical applications. When designing and building roads, engineers and surveyors need to be concerned about the grade of the road. The grade, usually expressed as a percent, is one way to describe the steepness of the finished surface of the road. For example, a 5% grade means that the road has a slope (rise over run) of 0.05 = 5/100.
A.If a road has a 5% upward grade over a 1000-foot run how much higher will you be at the end of that run than at the beginning?
B.What is the grade of a road that rises 26 feet over a distance of 500 feet?
