Answer 2

So, let's find the slope. :)

Answer 3

\(\sf\Large Slope = \frac{\color{blue}{y_2}-\color{red}{y_1}}{\color{green}{x_2}-\color{purple}{x_1}}\)

Where the two points are in the form:

\(\sf\Large (\color{purple}{x_1},\color{red}{y_1})~and~(\color{green}{x_2},\color{blue}{y_2})\)

Answer 4

The slope is saying that every 2 hours, the water decreases by .5 liter

Which answer choice is comparable??

Answer 5
