Answer :

philaeagles14

Answer: B. -2/3 the amount of water decreases every 3 minutes!

Step-by-step explanation:

B because it starts with 14 gallons with 0 minutes and the slope goes go down 2 and run 3 so therefore, the answer is B because from 14 gallons and 0 minutes it goes to 3 minutes 12 gallons and 6 minutes and 10 gallons so it decreases 2 gallons everything 3 minutes!

Hope this helps please give brainliest!

and here is the equation if you would need it

y=-2/3x+14

The slope of the line is , [tex]-\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

Option B is correct.

Slope of line :

If a line passing through two points  [tex](x_{1},y_{1}),(x_{2},y_{2})[/tex]

Then , slope of line is,

                     [tex]Slope(m)=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}[/tex]

The diagram below shown,

It is observed that, line passing through (3, 12) and (9, 8)

                  [tex]Slope(m)=\frac{8-12}{9-3} \\\\m=-\frac{4}{6}=-\frac{2}{3}[/tex]
