Respuesta :

Since, we are given

straight line

so, we can find equation of straight line

Let's assume

y is the amount of water that inflows

x is the time in minutes

We can select any two points

(0,0) and (2,500)

Firstly , we will find slope

[tex] m=\frac{500-0}{2-0} [/tex]

[tex] m=250 [/tex]

now, we can use point slope form of line

[tex] y-y_1=m(x-x_1) [/tex]

we can plug values

and we get

[tex] y-0=250(x-0) [/tex]

[tex] y=250x [/tex]..............Answer

Answer:

y=250x

Step-by-step explanation:

2 mins=500

Divide it by 2:

1 min= 250

So, 250 gal per minute or y=250x.
