Can someone please help me with this math problem

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.

Answer:

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
