"A watering can dispenses water at a rate of 0.15 gallon per minute"

that is the slope of the line, i.e how many gallon of water is dispensed per one minute or every minute? the answer is 0.15 g/min

Great!

Now...tricky point...
Was there any amount in the dispenser?

If yes, then the dispenser will start to dispense water as it is provided with! (the line passes through the point (0,5 gallons)

If no, the line passes the origin!
