The correct statement that describes how the slope relates to the height of the water in the pool is:
The height of the water increases 2 inches per minute.
The slope of a line in this context indicates the rate of change of height with respect to time. Since the slope is 2, it means that for every minute that passes, the height of the water in the pool increases by 2 inches.
