The table shows the gallons of water in a pool over time. A two column table with six rows. The first column, Time in minutes, has the entries, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. The second column, Water in Pool in gallons, has the entries, 50, 44, 38, 32, 26, 20.

Choose the term that describes the slope of the line of a graph representing the data in the table.

The slope of a line graphed to represent the volume of water in a pool over time would be described as
.

6 gallons per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the function that models the quantities of water, Q (in gallons) in a pool over time, t (in minutes), is  

Q = a + bt (1)

Now, Q(t = 0) is given to be 50 gallons.

So, a = 50 and b denotes the rate at which the quantity of water in the pool is decreasing and it is given by the slope of equation (1).

Now, two points on the graph are (0,50) and (1,44).

So, the slope = b =  = - 6 gallons per minute.

Therefore, the equation of this situation is given by Q = 50 - 6t, where the slope is equal to - 6 gallons per minute. (Answer)
