Question

Suppose you need to drain your swimming pool, and you use a pump that can remove 700 gallons per hour. You can model this scenario with $y = -700x + 2800$, where $y$ is the number of gallons left in the pool after $x$ hours of pumping. Find the $x$ and $y$ intercepts of this equation, interpret their meaning and use them to sketch a graph of the linear model.
