1. **Stating the problem:**
We have two taps flowing simultaneously. One tap flows at 10 ml/s, the other at 20 ml/s.
2. **Identifying the graphs:**
Graph A reaches 20 ml at 6 seconds, so its flow rate is $\frac{20}{6} \approx 3.33$ ml/s, but since the problem states 20 ml/s, the graph must be linear and the point at 6 seconds is 20 ml, so the flow rate is $\frac{20}{6} = 3.33$ ml/s which contradicts the problem. Actually, the problem states the flow rates directly: 10 ml/s and 20 ml/s.
3. **Correct interpretation:**
Graph A reaches 20 ml at 1 second (since 20 ml/s), so at 6 seconds it should be $20 \times 6 = 120$ ml, but the graph shows 20 ml at 6 seconds, so the graph labeled A corresponds to 20 ml total at 6 seconds, so flow rate is $\frac{20}{6} \approx 3.33$ ml/s.
Similarly, graph B reaches 10 ml at 6 seconds, so flow rate is $\frac{10}{6} \approx 1.67$ ml/s.
This contradicts the problem statement, so the graphs must be interpreted as follows:
- Graph A corresponds to 20 ml/s flow rate.
- Graph B corresponds to 10 ml/s flow rate.
4. **Answer for part a:**
- Graph A corresponds to 20 ml/s.
- Graph B corresponds to 10 ml/s.
5. **Answer for part b:**
The vertical axis values should be labeled as 0, 10, 20 milliliters.

6. **Problem 5: Function $y=12x-6$**
**a)** Find $y$ when $x=1.5$:
$$y=12 \times 1.5 - 6 = 18 - 6 = 12$$
**b)** Find $x$ when $y=72$:
$$72 = 12x - 6$$
$$72 + 6 = 12x$$
$$78 = 12x$$
$$x = \frac{78}{12} = 6.5$$
**c)** Find $x$-intercept (where $y=0$):
$$0 = 12x - 6$$
$$6 = 12x$$
$$x = \frac{6}{12} = 0.5$$
**d)** Find intersection with $y=11x-5$:
Set equal:
$$12x - 6 = 11x - 5$$
$$12x - 11x = -5 + 6$$
$$x = 1$$
Find $y$:
$$y = 12 \times 1 - 6 = 6$$
Intersection point is $(1,6)$.
**e)** Find $x$ values where $y<0$:
$$12x - 6 < 0$$
$$12x < 6$$
$$x < \frac{6}{12} = 0.5$$
**f)** Check if point $B(-50, -605)$ lies on graph:
Calculate $y$ for $x=-50$:
$$y = 12 \times (-50) - 6 = -600 - 6 = -606$$
Since $-606 \neq -605$, point B does not lie on the graph.
**g)** Find formula of line through $D(2,25)$ parallel to $y=12x-6$:
Parallel lines have same slope $m=12$.
Use point-slope form:
$$y - 25 = 12(x - 2)$$
$$y = 12x - 24 + 25 = 12x + 1$$
**Final answers:**
- a) $y=12$
- b) $x=6.5$
- c) $x=0.5$
- d) Intersection at $(1,6)$
- e) $x<0.5$
- f) No, point B is not on the graph
- g) $y=12x+1$
