35 points plez me the table shows the amount of water left in a pool over time as it is being drained. the table represents a linear function. time (h) water (gal) 0 18,500 1 17,000 2 15,500 3 14,000 what does the initial value mean for this function? after 3 hours, 14,000 gallons of water remain in the pool. after 2 hours, 15,500 gallons of water have been drained from the pool. the pool contains 18,500 gallons of water before it is drained. water drains from the pool at a rate of 1500 gallons each hour.
