Part A
To interpret this function, first determine which variable represents which quantity in the situation. In the equation, x represents the independent variable and y represents the dependent variable. Which variable represents the ounces of water left in the bowl?

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of ounces is the dependent and the y represents ounces of water left in the bowl

The number of ounces of water left in the bowl depends on the number of hours since the bowl was filled. So the number of ounces is the dependent quantity. The y-variable represents the dependent quantity. So, the y-variable represents the ounces of water left in the bowl.
