One of the key things to notice in this is the axes. See how the x and y axes are labeled? you can use these to figure out where the y intercept should be located

OpenStudy (narissa):

ok thanks

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

So we know that Nina started with 75 barrels of water. Which axis do you think goes with this piece of information?

OpenStudy (narissa):

then it should be the bottom left

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

Think again.

OpenStudy (narissa):

we start with 75 right

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

that is telling us that it only took 5 weeks for Nina to empty her entire supply of water. Is that correct? Hint: the 5 given to us represents the slope

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

yup! You have the part correct.

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

but if we have 75 L of water, and if we are using 5 L per week, how many weeks is that 75 L going to last us? @narissa

OpenStudy (narissa):

15

OpenStudy (narissa):

bottom right

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

correct! Does that make sense to you? :)

OpenStudy (narissa):

yes and thanks for explaining

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

of course ^^
