16 ounces of cat food was in the bag, on 24th day
Given : The y axis represents dependent variable ie the 'ounces of cat food' , and x axis represents independent variable ie 'days since bag was bought'
To find : Value of y ie ounces of food - on a particular value of x ie days since bag bought , we draw a straight vertical line from value of x to the curve & correspond it to y axis.
From x = 24, if we draw a straight vertical line to the graph - it touches the point ( x,y ) = (24, 16). Extending it further to y axis, we get value of y ie 'ounces of food' = 16
