The equation y = -1. 5x + 24 represents the gallons left ina tub after x minutes of being drained. Interpret the y-intercept. (What does the number (0,24) represent?)

The y-intercept represents the number of gallons present in the tank at time zero.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the number of gallons as a function of time is given by

y = - 1.5 x + 24

with "x" representing the minutes elapsed, the y-intercept (0,24) represents the number of gallons in the tub when we started counting time (that is at time zero)

x -

median = 1.25

range = 12-14.5

interquartile = q12-q14.5

y -

median = 1

range = 15-17

interquartile = q15-q17
