Question 188003
Owners of a recreation area are filling a small pond with water. They are adding water at a rate of 35 liters per minute. There are 700 liters in the pond to start.
Let W represent the amount of water in the pond (in liters), and let T represent the number of minutes that water has been added. Write an equation relating W to T, and then graph your equation using the axes below.
:
the equation would be: Total water (W) = 35L*minutes(T) + 700L
W = 35T + 700
:
Put T on the horizontal (x) and W on the vertical (Y)
Graph should look like this:
{{{ graph( 300, 200, -20, 60, -500, 3000, 35x+700) }}}
Note when T = 0, you have 700L, when T = 60, you have 35(60)+ 700 = 2800L
