Brandon has a 55-gallon fish tank. He estimates he can drain the tank at an average rate of 11 gallons per minute. In a linear model of this situation, x represents the number of minutes the tank has been draining and y represents the amount of water in the tank. Relative to this situation, what does the y-intercept represent? A. The y-intercept represents the number of minutes it takes to drain the tank. B. The y-intercept represents the amount of water in the tank before it begins draining. C. The y-intercept represents the rate at which the tank can be drained. D. The y-intercept represents the amount of water in the tank after it has been drained.

Use the information in the table to draw each graph. Give the coordinates of each point. $A$ tub was filled with water from a faucet. The table shows the number of gallons of water in the tub at 1-minute intervals. Plot the ordered pairs in the table on a rectangular coordinate system and then draw a line through the points.

Water Flow The graph gives the number of gallons of water in a small swimming pool after $x$ hours. (graph can't copy) (a) Write a formula for $f(x)$ (b) Interpret both the slope and the $y$ -intercept. (c) Use the graph to estimate how much water was in the pool after 7 hours. Verify your answer by evaluating $f(x)$
