A person measured the depth of water in a bathtub at two-minute intervals after the

tap was turned on. Use the line of best fit to find the amount of water, in cm, present

initially in the bathtub. Round to the nearest integer.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Data

    Time (min) Depth (cm)

    2 8

    4 15

    6 29

    8 37

    10 39

    12 49

    14 55

    The line of best fit to find the amount of water is:

    y = 3.9107x + 1.8571

    (I used Excel to get it, you can use a calculator or similar programs if you want to)

    In the equation, y represents depth (in cm) and x represents time (in min).

    The amount of water, in cm, present initially in the bathtub is found at time equal to zero. Replacing x = 0 in the equation, we get:

    y = 3.9107 (0) + 1.8571

    y = 1.8571 ≈ 2 cm
