Answer:

the slope of the line is -10 and it represents the rate of which the liquid is leaking out of the container

Explanation:

find any 2 points on the line. i chose (10,800) and (20,700)

the formula for slope is m = y2-y1 divided by x2-x1

plug the numbers in, then solve and it should be

m = 800-700 / 10 - 20

m = 100 / -10

m = -10

hope this helps! :)
