At the end of a snow storm, Adam saw there was a lot of snow on his front lawn. The temperature increased and the snow began to melt at a steady rate. Let S represent
the depth of snow on Adam's lawn, in inches, t hours after the snow stopped falling.
A graph of S is shown below. Write an equation for S then state the slope of the
graph and determine its interpretation in the context of the problem.

if you explain the the question more correctly i might be able to answer this better

step-by-step explanation:

we have three similar triangles, because each has a right angle and shares an angle.   let's write the angles in order: opposite to short leg, long leg, hypotenuse.

cab similar to bad similar to cbd

or as ratios,

ca: ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

we also know

ac = ad + cd

(ad+cd): ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

(ad+cd)/cb=cb/cd

we have cb=6, ad=5 and seek x=cd.

we reject the negative root and conclude x=4

answer: 4

c
