a bathtub is draining at a consistent rate. after 2 minutes, it holds 28 gallons of water. three minutes later, it holds 7 gallons of water. write an equation that represents the number y of gallons of water in the tub after x minutes.

y = 42 - 6 x

Step-by-step explanation:The slope-intercept formula is:

y = m x + b,

or: y = b - m x, since the rate is negative.

For the 1st formula we have: y = 30 and x = 2

For the 2nd formula: y = 12 and x = 5 ( because: 5 = 2 + 3, or : 3 minutes later, which can be confusing  )

30 = b - 2 m

12 = b - 5 m

b = 30 + 2 m

12 = 30 + 2 m - 5 m

3 m = 18

m = 18 : 3 = 6

b = 30 + 2 * 6 = 30 + 12 = 42

y = 42 - 6 x

i think it's either c or d

step-by-step explanation: the entire question is extremely odd. 04 obviously refers to the interest rate. honestly i will say the answer is c. because the (2 x 12) part would mean it's compounded semiannually. i'll say choose c.

the answer is (4,3)

since the rule for r0, 90º is (-y,x) and it was already applied to form the image, all you have to do is reverse the answer using this formula.
