Between 1: 30 p. m. and 1: 50 p. m.,40 gallons of water leaked into a boat. at what rate in gallon per hour was the water leaking in to boat?

120 gallons per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Between 1:30 P.M. and 1:50 P.M., 40 gallons of water leaked into a boat.

We know, the (1: 50 P.M. - 1: 30 P.M.) = 20 minutes.

So, the time span is of 20 minutes and the amount of water leaked into is 40 gallons.

Therefore, the amount of water that will leak into the boat in 60 minutes is gallons.

So, the rate in gallons per hour of the leaking water is 120 gallons per hour. (Answer)

the formula of a slope:

from a table we have

substitute:

the slope of f(x) is -1.

the graph of funcfion g(x) is a horizontal line. the slope of a horizontal line is equal 0. therefore the slope of g(x) is 0.

-1 < 0

3 is greater then both of those numbers
