Answer:
- 6 gallons per minute.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the function that models the quantities of water, Q (in gallons) in a pool over time, t (in minutes), is
Q = a + bt ........... (1)
Now, Q(t = 0) is given to be 50 gallons.
So, a = 50 and b denotes the rate at which the quantity of water in the pool is decreasing and it is given by the slope of equation (1).
Now, two points on the graph are (0,50) and (1,44).
So, the slope = b = = - 6 gallons per minute.
Therefore, the equation of this situation is given by Q = 50 - 6t, where the slope is equal to - 6 gallons per minute. (Answer)
