When comparing situations involving risk, how can you tell which is the explanatory variable and which is the response variable?

(note i put the graph in so plz )the graph shows the amount of water that remains in a barrel after it begins to leak. the variable x represents the number of days that have passed since the barrel was filled, and y represents the number of gallons of water that remain in the barrel. what is the slope of the line

What are the solutions of the system? y = x^2 + 2x +3y = 4x - 2a. (-1, -6) and (-3, -14)b. (-1, 10) and (3, -6)c. no solutiond. (-1, -6) and (3, 10)

Solve the equation using the zero-product property. -3n(7n - 5) = 0 a. 0, -5/7 b. -1/3, -5/7 c. -1/3, 5/7 d. 0, 5/7
