In a measurement experiment, students poured measured volumes of water into a container partially full of water and recorded the total depth of water in the container. The results are shown in the following table:

These results were then plotted as points on a graph, as shown below.

a. What was the depth of water in the container at the start of the experiment before additional water was added?

b. How many litres of water did the students add to bring the depth to 175millimetres?

c. One of the points was plotted incorrectly. Plot this point correctly on the graph and mark it with a cross (X).

d. Draw a straight line of good fit through the correctly plotted points.

e. From your graph, estimate the rate at which the depth increases for each litre added. (Give your answer in millimetres per litre.)¤

At a World Cup rugby match, the stadium was filled to capacity for the entire game. At the end of the game, people left the stadium at a constant rate. The graph shows the number of people (N) in the stadium t minutes after the end of the game.

The equation of the line is of the form N=a–bt, where a and b are constants.

1. Write down the value ofa, and give an explanation of its meaning.
2. 1. Calculate the value b.

2. What does the value of b represent in this situation?

1. Rearrange the formula N=a–bt to make t the subject.
