Step-by-step explanation:

Graph attached represents the relation between amount of oil left in the leaky oil tanker and time.

a). Gradient of the line =

                                      =

                                      = -5

    A-intercept = 160

b). Linear equation to represent the given relation in the graph will be,

  A = (-5)t + 160

c). At t = 15 minutes,

   A = (-5)(15) + 160

   A = -75 + 160

   A = 85 liters

d). This model is applicable till the container gets fully emptied.

   For A = 0,

   0 = -5t + 160

   t =

   t = 32 minutes

   Therefore, this model is reasonable up to t = 32 minutes.

d

step-by-step explanation:

given

y + 3 = - 4(x - 2) ← distribute the parenthesis

y + 3 = - 4x + 8 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

y = - 4x + 5 → d
