leaky bucket contains 50 ml of water and is losing water at a rate of 15 ml of water every 4 minutes. Select the graph that shows how much water will be in the bucket over time

1 answer

Since the bucket is losing water steadily at a consistent rate, the graph would be a straight downward sloping line. The y-intercept would be 50 ml, and the slope would be -15 ml/4 minutes.

Graph option 3 would most likely show the correct representation of how much water will be in the bucket over time.
