Scientists are conducting an experiment with a gas in a sealed container. The mass of the gas is measured, and the scientists realize that the gas is leaking over time in a linear way. Its mass is leaking by 6.1 grams per minute. Eight minutes since the experiment started, the remaining gas had a mass of 231.8 grams. Let a be the number of minutes that have passed since the experiment started, and let y be the mass of the gas in grams at that moment. Use a linear equation to model the weight of the gas over time. a. This line's slope-intercept equation is b. 30 minutes after the experiment started, there would be c. If a linear model continues to be accurate, container will be gone. ⠀ grams of gas left. minutes since the experiment started, all gas in the
