Plz help @GabeBae A watering can dispenses water at the rate of 0.25 gallon per minute. The original volume of water in the can was 6 gallons. Which set of ordered pairs shows the volume of water in the can in gallons (y), as a function of time in minutes (x), from the first minute after the can starts dispensing water? A. {(1, 6.0), (2, 5.75), (3, 5.50)} B. {(6.0, 1), (5.75, 2), (5.50, 3)} C. {(1, 5.75), (2, 5.50), (3, 5.25)} D. {(5.75, 1), (5.50, 2), (5.25, 3)}

It's basically saying it fills the 0.25 of a gallon every minute and it first started off with 6 gallons

OpenStudy (gabebae):

A would be the best answer

OpenStudy (gabebae):

but let me make sure it's correct

OpenStudy (spring98):

OpenStudy (gabebae):

Why would the answer be C? It's not decreasing it's increasing
