W = 30T + 500

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that water is added in the pond at a rate of 30 liters per minute and there are total 500 liters in the pond to start.

So assuming W to be the amount of water in the pond (in liters) and T to be the the number of minutes that water has been added, we can write an equation:

W = 30T + 500

(W on the y-axis and T on the x axis)
