    55 gallons, the initial quantity of water in the tank

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Y is defined as the amount of water in the tank. When X (the number of minutes spent draining) is zero, no water has left the tank. So, the Y-intercept is the initial amount of water in the tank, 55 gallons.
