Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Look closely at the graph.  We see that it passes through (0, 0) and (10, 7).

Thus, the change in x, as we move to the right from the origin, is 10 min, and the change in y is 7 cm.  

A.  The rate of change is (7 cm)/(10 min), or 0.7 cm/min

B.  Same as A.

C.  The water level, in cm, is directly proportional to the elapsed time, in minutes.
