Question

ns, braydenocta.b pa.r.1.23 of 6a rain barrel is being filled from the runoff of a roof. the barrel has already collected 2.75 feet of water. for every additional inch of rainfall into the barrel, the barrel rises by 0.75 inch.what is the slope of the linear model representing the change in height of water in the rain barrel based on the rainfall into the rain barrel?$\bigcirc$ 0.75$\bigcirc$ 1$\bigcirc$ 2.75$\bigcirc$ 3

Explanation:

Step1: Identify linear model components

A linear model for water height $h$ is $h = mx + b$, where $m$ is slope (rate of change), $x$ is rainfall inches, and $b$ is initial height.

Step2: Match rate to slope

The problem states water rises by 0.75 inches per additional inch of rainfall. This rate is the slope.

Answer:

0.75
