As a part of a science experiment, Gary makes a small hole in the bottom of a bottle full of water. He records the amount of water left in the bottle at the end of each minute. He repeats
this experiment several times and uses the data to develop the linear model, w = -50m + 1200,
which describes the amount of water remaining in the water bottle, in w milliliters, after m
minutes. Which statement is a correct interpretation of this linear model?
A. The water bottle holds 1,200 milliliters of water and loses 50 milliliters per minute.
B. The water bottle starts with 1,200 milliliters of water and ends with 24 milliliters of water.
C. The water bottle holds 1,200 milliliters of water and loses 1 milliliter of water every 50
minutes.
D. The water bottle starts with 1,200 milliliters of water and loses exactly 50 milliliters of water.
