Answer:
Option B is correct, i.e. The amount of water originally in Wilson's can was 2.5 gallons.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given is the graph of Amount of water (in gallons) v/s Time (in seconds).
It is a linear graph whose general equation is given as follows:-
y=mx+b.
Where y = Amount of water, x = Time, m = slope, b = y-intercept (when time is zero).
Finding slope of line, m = (2.3 - 2.5)/(1 - 0) = -0.2 gallons per second.
Finding y-intercept of line, b = 2.5 gallons (at t=0).
Hence, option B is correct, i.e. The amount of water originally in Wilson's can was 2.5 gallons.
