Question 1000446: Doctors use intravenous (IV) drips to deliver fluids and medications to patients. Suppose an IV drip starts with 1,000 ml of saline and dispenses fluid at a rate of 2.5 ml per minute.
Write an equation for this situation using F to represent the amount of fluid (saline solution) left in milliliters and t to represent the time in minutes. Hint: If you have trouble writing a model, try making a table first.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Doctors use intravenous (IV) drips to deliver fluids and medications to patients. Suppose an IV drip starts with 1,000 ml of saline and dispenses fluid at a rate of 2.5 ml per minute.
Write an equation for this situation using F to represent the amount of fluid (saline solution) left in milliliters and t to represent the time in minutes. Hint: If you have trouble writing a model, try making a table first.
-----
slope = 2.5 ml/min
intercept = 1000
------
A(m) = 1000 + 2.5m, where m is the number of minutes
