Answer:

[tex]\sf \dfrac{2}{3} \ is \ the \ change \ per \ minute \ in \ the \ amount \ of \ water.[/tex]

explanation:

[tex]\sf unit \ rate : \dfrac{y_1-y}{x_1-x}[/tex]

[tex]\sf unit \ rate : \dfrac{7-5}{3-0}[/tex]

[tex]\sf unit \ rate : \dfrac{2}{3}[/tex]

Answer:

-2/3 gallons/min

Step-by-step explanation:

let x = time in minutes

let y = volume of water in gallons

when x = 0, y = 7

when x = 3, y = 5

[tex]\mathsf{rate \ of \ change \ = \dfrac{change \ in \ y}{change \ in \ x}=\dfrac{7-5}{0-3}=-\dfrac23 \ gallons/min}[/tex]
