Step-by-step explanation:

The point-slope format is a way to represent the equation of a line. It involves using a point on the line and relating it to the slope in such a way that one can find any point on the line using the equation. One is asked to find the equation of a line in point-slope form. The general format for the point-slope form of a line is the following;

Where the point on the line that is being used is (). The parameter () represents the slope or rate of change in the line. The slope is often referred to as the () and can be found using the following formula.

Where () and () are points on the line. As one can see the following points can be found on the line:

Substitute these points into the slope formula and solve for the slope;

=

=

=

=

Now substitute the slope into the given formula. As per the problem, one is supposed to use the point () in the formula.

Substitute the slope;

Substitute the point;

step-by-step explanation:

12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 7 hours.

4: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 3 hours.

this means that from 4: 00 p.m to 7: 00 p.m. this represents 3/7 of what was lost from 12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m.

after knowing this, after doing 11,600 - 6,800 = 4,800

4,800 represents 3/7 of what was lost for 7 hours.

we then divide 4,800 by 3 which gets 1,600.

because we know that 1,600 represents 1/7 of how much water was lost, we just have to multiply by 7, which gets 11,200.   after adding 11,200 to how much water was left at 7: 00 p.m. which was 6,800. 11,200 + 6,800 = 18,000

this means that the pool originally had 18,000 gallons in the pool.

you can also check your work by doing 18,000 - 4(1600), which becomes           1800 - 6400 which gets you 11,600.
