The Graph Shows The Number Of Cubic Feet Of Water Used Overtime At A Waterpark That Is Open During The Hours And The Table At This Rate How Many Cubic Feet Of W class=

The graph is an illustration of a linear equation, where

  • The cubic feet per minute is 31.25
  • The cubic feet per hour is 1875
  • 15931.25 cubic feet of water will be used at the water park on Tuesday

From the graph, we have:

[tex](x_1,y_1) = (1,25)[/tex]

[tex](x_2,y_2) = (5,150)[/tex]

The unit rate is calculated as follows:

[tex]m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}[/tex]

[tex]m = \frac{150-25}{5-1}[/tex]

[tex]m = \frac{125}{4}[/tex]

[tex]m = 31.25[/tex] cubic feet per minute

The unit rate per hour is as follows

[tex]m = 31.25 \times 60[/tex]

[tex]m = 1875[/tex] cubic feet per hour

The equation in hours is as follows:

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

Where:

[tex]m = 1875[/tex]

[tex](x_1,y_1) = (1/60,25)[/tex] ---- in hours

So, we have:

[tex]y = 1875(x - 1/60) + 25[/tex]

[tex]y = 1875x - 31.25 + 25[/tex]

[tex]y = 1875x -6.25[/tex]

The water park runs 8.5 hours on Tuesday (i.e. 11am to 7:30pm)

So, we have:

[tex]y = 1875 \times 8.5 -6.25[/tex]

[tex]y = 15931.25[/tex]

Hence, 15931.25 cubic feet will be used at the water park on Tuesday
