Please help me!

Josiah, the manager of a pet store, bought 72 oz of water conditioner to use in his fish tanks. His small tanks would require 2 oz of conditioner and his large tanks would require 6 oz of conditioner. He made a sketch to show the line representing the different combinations of tanks he could put the water conditioner into. The x-axis represented the number of small tanks and the y-axis represented the number of large tanks. The manager labeled only the intercepts.

Which points did the manager label?

(0, 6) and (2, 0)

(0, 12)and (36, 0)

(6, 0) and (0, 2)

(0, 36) and (12, 0)
