At the beginning of a storm, a pond was 16 cm deep. During the storm, the depth increased by 1.5 cm every hour for 8 h. What graph represents the depth of the pond over this time period?

Respuesta :

Let's assume

depth of pound over time  is h cm

time in hours as t

We are given

At the beginning of a storm, a pond was 16 cm deep

so, we get

[tex]h(0)=16[/tex]

so,

[tex]b=16[/tex]

we can use formula

[tex]h(t)=mt+b[/tex]

the depth increased by 1.5 cm every hour for 8 h

so, we get

[tex]m=\frac{1.5}{8} =0.1875[/tex]

so, we can plug these values

and we get

[tex]h(t)=0.1875t+16[/tex]

now, we can draw graph
