Part A The graph shows the volume of water in a sink, x minutes after the faucet is turned on.

What is the slope of the line?

Slope =

Part B
Connor says that the graph shows that water is flowing at a rate of 2 gallons per minute. Is he correct?

a. Connor is correct because the rate of water flowing is equal to the slope. Water is flowing in at a rate which is about 2 gallons per minute.

b. Connor is not correct because the rate of water flowing is greater than the slope. Water is flowing in at a rate which is slower than 2 gallons per minute.

c. Connor is not correct because the rate of water flowing is not equal to the slope. Water is flowing in at a rate which is slower than 2 gallons per minute.

d. Connor is correct because the rate of water flowing is less than the slope. Water is flowing in at a rate which is faster than 2 gallons per minute.
