Two containers P and Q are filled with different amounts of water. Each container has a small hole. The graph shows the amount of water, V milliliters, left in each container after x minutes. Explain what the y-intercept means in this scenario.

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of the line for container O and container P will be in the form of,

y = mx + b

Here m = slope of the line = Change in amount of water per minute

b = y-intercept

From the graph attached,

y-intercept 'b' represents the initial amount of water in the container.

For container O, initial amount of water in the container is 1000 mL.

Similarly, initial amount in the container is 900 mL.

the dimensions are:

step-by-step explanation:

we want to find the dimensions of a rectangular box with volume of

we factor to obtain;

we rewrite the rightmost factor to obtain;

recall that:

we apply difference of two squares formula to obtain;

hence the dimensions are
