Sagot :
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
