There are 175 cubic unit initially in the tank

How to determine the initial amount of water?

The table of values is given as:

Time (minutes)     Amount of Water

1                              150

3                             100

6                             25

Calculate the slope (m) of the table using:

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

This gives

m = (100 - 150)/(3 -1)

Evaluate

m = -25

This means that as the time increases by 1, the amount of the water reduces by 25 cubic unit

When x = 1, y = 150

So, we have:

x = 1 - 1 when y = 150 - (-25)

This gives

x = 0 when y = 175

Hence, there are 175 cubic unit initially in the tank
