If x is directly proportional to y, it means that as x increase, y also increases and vice versa. This could be done another way. Since I am already given a point of x and y, I could simply find the difference between x and y, which would be 12 in this case. To find the x value when y is 24, I would simply either add or subtract that difference. Depending on which of the x or y value is higher. In this case, since we are solving for y and y is larger than x, I would subtract it. Meaning x would be 12.

A motorist traveled 250 miles on 11 gallons of gas. With the same vehicle, about how far could he go on 16 gallons of gas? A) 17
Andrei [34K]
ANSWER

363.6 \: miles
EXPLANATION

We were told that the motorist travelled 250 miles on 11 gallons of gas. This implies that,

250 \: miles \equiv11 \: gallons

Now we want to find how far he could go on 16 gallons.

x \: miles \equiv16 \: gallons


All other things being equal, the motorist should cover more than 250 miles with 16 gallons of gas.

Recall that: If more, less divides.

This implies that,

x =  \frac{250 \times 16}{11}




x =  \frac{4000}{11}   = 363.6 \: miles


Therefore the correct answer is C.

I don't understand how to do this, could I have some help?​
kondaur [170]

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1. slope = rise/run

step 2. the rise is the height between any 2 points

step 3. the run is the distance left or right between the same 2 points

step 4. if the line goes up "left to right" the slope is positive, down it is negative

step 5. slope = + 6/2 = 3.
