You water the plants in your classroom at a constant rate. After 5 seconds, your watering can contains 58 ounces of water. Fifteen seconds later, the can contains 28 ounces of water.
a. Write an equation in slope-intercept form that represents the amount yy (in ounces) of water in the can after xx seconds.
y=amount of oz in can originally.
x=number of oz of water every second comes out of the container.
y-5x=58
y=5x+58
y-15x=28
5x+58-15x=28
-10x=28-58
-10x=-30
x=3
y=73
Hope this helps!
