I can’t see the graph — could you either upload the image or tell me two clear points (time, gallons) from the trend line or the equation of the trend line? With that I’ll compute the time for 520 gallons.
If you want to do it yourself, here are the steps:
1. Read two points (t1, g1) and (t2, g2) from the trend line (t in minutes, g in gallons).
2. Compute the slope m = (g2 − g1) / (t2 − t1).
3. Find the line: g = m t + b, where b = g1 − m t1.
4. Set g = 520 and solve for t: t = (520 − b) / m.
5. Round the answer to the required precision.
Example: if the line goes through (0,120) and (10,420), then m = (420−120)/10 = 30, b = 120, so t = (520−120)/30 = 400/30 ≈ 13.33 minutes.
Send the graph or two points and I’ll compute the exact time.
