The local water supply has a leak, it is losing 4 gallons of water every second. After 15 seconds, the water level is at 1024 gallons. Write an equation to
represent the situation: *

An equation to  represent the situation would be:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the water supply is losing 4 gallons of water every second.

It means the rate of change = 4 gallons per second

So the equation becomes

1024 = 4(15) + b

comparing with the slope-intercept form of the equation of a line

where m is the slope (rate of change) and b is the y-intercept

so

So, the value of y-intercept i.e b=964

Thus, the equation will be

substituting the value rate of change i.e m = 4 and b=964

Therefore, an equation to  represent the situation would be:

it would be 6xy and -16xy.

in the attachment.   i didn't see your choices.   the word which means there is choices.

step-by-step explanation:

(x,y)

x tells you how much left or right you go from the origin

y tells you how much down or up you go from the origin

so for example (-3,2), you go left 3 and up twice. i denoted which of the ordered pairs is which in my graph.
