well, the quadratic has a leading term with a positive coefficient, meaning is a parabola opening upwards, like a "bowl", comes from above down down down, reaches a U-turn, namely the vertex, and goes back up up up.

Answer:
15x = y
Step-by-step explanation:
15 times the gallons of gas = miles
15x = y
