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.

In its simplest form, Torricelli's law states that water in a tank will escape through a (small) hole in the bottom with the same speed that it would attain falling from the same height to the level of the hole. ... velocity, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is the height of the fluid in the container.

The graph of a linear function intersects with the x axis at a point with an abscissa of 4 and with the y axis at a point with a

goldenfox [79]

We know that

points are
x intercept
A (4,0)

y intercept
B (0,11)

step 1
find the equation of a line
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)--------> m=(11-0)/(0-4)------> m=-11/4

with m and the point B (0,11)
y-y1=m*(x-x1)y-11=(-11/4)*(x-0)---------> y=-(11/4)x+11

the answer is
the formula of the function is y=-(11/4)x+11
