The amount of water in a leaky bucket is given by the linear function y=127 - 10x, where y is in ounces and x is in minutes. Find and interpret the slope and y-intercept of the linear equation. a. m = 127; The amount of water in the bucket decreases 127 ounces every minute. b= 10; At x = 0, the amount of water in the bucket was 10 ounces.
b. m = 127; The amount of water in the bucket increases 127 ounces every minute. b= 10; At x = 0, the amount of water in the bucket was 10 ounces.
c. m = -10; The amount of water in the bucket decreases 10 ounces every minute. b= 127; At x = 0, the amount of water in the bucket was 127 ounces.
d. m = 10; The amount of water in the bucket increases 10 ounces every minute. b= 127; At x = 0 the amount of water in the bucket was 127 ounces.
