Answer:

Slope: -3/2

With the question, we can determine that the slope with two points: (0,13.5) and (9,0). To calculate use the equation [tex]\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}[/tex] and get [tex]\frac{0-13.5}{9-0} =\frac{-13.5}{9} =\frac{-3}{2}[/tex]

This slope means that the water is decreasing at a rate of 3/2 gallons per minute.
