Considering the linear function described, 500 liters of fuel were initially in the tank.
<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>
A linear function is modeled by:
y = mx + b
In which:
- m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.
- b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and can also be interpreted as the initial value of the function.
Researching this problem on the internet and looking at the graph, we have that when x = 0, y = 500, that is, the y-intercept is of 500. From the bullet points, the y-intercept is the initial value, hence 500 liters of fuel were initially in the tank.
