Acricket ball is dropped into a cylindrical tank of water. the ball sinks to the bottom of the tank. the diameter of the cricket ball is 7.2 cm. the diameter of the cylindrical tank is 15 cm. calculate the increase in height of the water in the tank.

step-by-step explanation:

let

we know that

the y-intercept is the y-coordinate of the point when the value of x is equal to zero

so

the y-coordinate of the point a is the y-intercept

the answer part a) is

the value of y-intercept is

part b) find the slope m

we know that

the value of the slope is equal to

substitute the values

therefore

the answer part b) is

the value of the slope is equal to

the general answer is

the slope is

the value of y-intercept is
