Question

a container of liquid with a volume of 100 ml is left open. the liquid evaporates at a rate of 10% per day. what is the significance of the y-intercept of this graph? choose 1 answer: a 1 day from now, the volume of the liquid is 100 ml. b 1 day from now, the volume of the liquid is 90 ml. c 0 days from now, the volume of the liquid is 100 ml. d 0 days from now, the volume of the liquid is 90 ml.

Explanation:

The y-intercept of a graph representing this situation occurs when the input variable (time in days) is 0. At time 0 days (the starting point), the volume of the liquid is the initial 100 mL, as no evaporation has yet occurred.

Answer:

C. 0 days from now, the volume of the liquid is 100 mL.
