Can someone please help me with this math problem

Your answer is D

Step-by-step explanation:

It's receding, or going down, leaving, etc., which means it's going to be a negative number, which eliminates 2 answers because your number has to be -.25.

You can't have negative levels of water, and it also said that there are 2 meters of water. This eliminates C, leaving only D left.

Option D) d (t ) = -0.25t + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the water level covering a road after a rainstorm of 2 meters, for which the water level recedes at a rate of 0.25 meters per hour:

We can express the depth, d, of the water as a linear function of the time, t, in hours elapsed from the end of the rainstorm as:

d (t ) = -0.25t + 2

The receding rate has a negative value since it represents how the water level decreases over time.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option D: d (t ) = -0.25t + 2

check above link.

graphically?   well, you graph them both, the solutions is where they both intersect each other, since there are two solutions, meaning they will meet twice, or namely the linear will run into the quadratic curve twice, and where they meet, those x,y coordinates are the solutions to the system.
