Question

A bathtub is draining at a constant rate. After 2 minutes, it holds 28 gallons of water. Three minutes later, it holds 7 gallons of water. Write an equation that represents the number y of gallons of water in the tub after x minutes.

Answer 1

we have two data points: (2,28) and (5,7)
so, the slope of the line is (7-28)/(5-2) = -7

Using the point-slope form of a line, the function is

y-28 = -7(x-2)
or
y = 42-7x

Answer 2

How did you get 5 in the data point's

Answer 3

2+3=5

Answer 4

this answer is wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😡🤬😱
