    The answer is:

    V = 55 + 8m

    plug in m = 25

    V = 55 + 8 (25) = 255

    25 minutes after Baxter begins filling the tank, the volume of water in the tank will be 255 gallons.

    Slope:

    m = 8 gal/min

    For every min the water is on, the volume of water in the tank increases by 55 gallons.

    y-intercept: 55

    (0,55)

    The initial volume of water in the tank was 55 gallons.
