The table shows the height of water in a pool as it is being filled. The slope of the line through the points is 2. Which statement describes how the slope relates to the height of the water in the pool? Height of Water in a Pool Time (min) 2 4 6 8 10 Height (in.) 8. R12 16 20 24 O The height of the water increases 2 inches per minute. The height of the water decreases 2 inches per minute. The height of the water was 2 inches before any water was added. O The height of the water will be 2 inches when the pool is filled.

Step-by-step explanation:

A) The height of the water increases 2 inches per minute.

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope is the rate of change of height

m = (16 - 12)/(4 - 2) = 4/2 = 2

2 inch per min

Positive slope implies increase
