Owners of a recreation area are filling a small pond with water. They are adding water at a rate of 25
liters per minute. There are 500
liters in the pond to start.
Let
W
represent the amount of water in the pond (in liters), and letT
represent the number of minutes that water has been added. Write anequationrelatingW
toT
,and then graph your equation using the axes below.
Equation can be formed as:
Water = time pumping at 25 litres per minute + initial amount of 500L
Hence,
"W = 25t+500"
OR
"y = 25x + 500"
For plotting the graph we have to find at least two points.
"x = 0, y = 500"
"x = -20,y = 0"
Graph will look like this:
