Graphing Constant Coolant Flow Rates
An industrial maintenance worker is monitoring a cooling system where the flow rate is fixed at 4 liters per minute, represented by the equation . To create a graph of this flow rate over time () using the point-plotting method, the worker prepares a table of values. According to the equation, what specific numerical value must be recorded for the -coordinate in every row of this table, regardless of the time value chosen?
