The function graphed represents the amount of water in a container, in gallons, x minutes after a drain is opened. what is the meaning of each key feature of the graph? drag the answer into the box to match each item.

Let

x-------> the time in minutes

y-----> the function that represent the amount of water in gallons

Step 1

Find the x-intercept

we know that

The x-intercept is the value of x when the value of the function is equal to zero

In this problem (see the graph)

For

the value of x is

so

the x-intercept is the point

that means

The number of minutes it takes for the container to empty  is

Step 2

Find the y-intercept

we know that

The y-intercept is the value of the function y when the value of x is equal to zero

In this problem (see the graph)

For

the value of the function y is

so

the y-intercept is the point

that means

The number of gallons in the container before the drain is open is

therefore

the answer in the attached figure

-6 is the correct option from the above given options
