PRECALC AB
You water the plants in your classroom at a constant rate. After 5 seconds, your watering can contains 58 ounces of water. Fifteen seconds later, the can contains 28 ounces of water.
b. how much water was in the can when you started watering the plants?

So, the original amount was 58 ounces , then in 15 secs, we get 28, So the amount we lost was 30 by 15, giving us the slope of 2 ounces lost per second. Now that we know the slope, we can answer the questions

A. We can get the equation by finding the y int. (below) and writing it as y=-2x+68

B. Since we lost 2 ounces per second, we need to add up 2 ounces for every second lost. 2x5=10+58= 68 ounces at the beginning.

C. Since we have the formula and the slope, we just need to find when y hits 0. and that is: After 34 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

:D hope this helps
