Asap: hose a fills a water truck at the constant rate of 60 gallons every 15 minutes. hose b fills a water truck at a constant rate that is represented by the function y = 3x, where y is the total number of gallons filled in x minutes. which best compares the rates of the two hoses?

a) the rate of hose a is 3 gallons per minute more than the rate of hose b.

b) the rate of hose b is 3 gallons per minute more than the rate of hose a.

c) the rate of hose a is 1 gallon per minute more than the rate of hose b.

d) the rate per minute is the same for hose a and hose b.

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Hose A:

60 gallons every 15 minutes mean:

60 / 15 = 4 gallons per minute

For Hose B:

If we put x = 1, we can find gallons (y)  per minute (x)

y = 3 x

y = 3(1)

y = 3

That means 3 gallons per minute

Thus, the rate of Hose A is 1 gallon per minute more than the rate of Hose B. Option C is correct.

options a,b,c are the right answer.

step-by-step explanation:

a linear parent function is always represented as y = x

if we write this function in the form of y=mx+c

⇒

or  

now if we plot a graph we will find these characteristics:

1) y intercept of the graph is zero so its a straight line passing through origin.

2) as we can see in both the forms of function written, values of x and y may be either positive or negative for the positive slope means points on the graph are either in first quadrant or in third one.

3) it's slope is one.
