<PRE><B>Question 1000446</B>
 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
