What do you think the answer is?

shadowlegendx · Answer

It's quite simple, just look at when the water is decreasing (negative slope), when it is flat (zero slope) and when it is increasing (positive slope).

C

10 and 50 hours, are not represented on the graph

shadowlegendx · Answer

Look at the slope of the line, between 4 and 7 hours, it has an increasing slope, a positive one, what does that mean?
