Read and interpret a straight-line graph

Question 1 of 8

No calculator

The horizontal variable is time; the vertical variable is water collected

The horizontal axis is measured in minutes. The line passes through \(A(5, 11)\) and \(B(6, 12)\)

The vertical axis is measured in litres

\[y = 6 + x\]

Treat the drawn segment as the known interval for this exercise. Beyond it, assume the same linear model continues only while the quantities remain physically possible. The stated coordinates and rule use graph units

Cartesian graph with horizontal axis time in minutes and vertical axis water collected in litres. The window is x from 4 to 7 and y from 9 to 14. Unit gridlines are shown. Each vertical grid unit is one stated vertical-axis unit. The drawn segment runs from (4, 10) to (7, 13). The displayed rule is y equals x plus 6456791011121314ABTime (min)Water (L)
(a)1 mark

How much does the water collected change as time goes from \(5\) to \(6\) minutes? Give a signed answer

(b)1 mark

Read the water collected when time = \(6\) minutes

(c)1 mark

At time = \(8\) minutes, is the reading interpolation or extrapolation?
