Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

a. Using two points on the line (0, 2) and (4, 12), find the gradient:

Gradient = ∆y/∆x = (12 - 2) / (4 - 0) = 10/4 = 2.5

Gradient = 2.5

b. The gradient, 2.5, represents the unit rate. That is, the volume of the oil in the tank per second.

i.e. 2.5 litres per second

c. The value, L = 2 represents the y-intercept, which is the starting value or initial volume of oil in the tank at 0 secs.
