Hey!

Hope this helps...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So to solve this, we want to know how many miles can we do in every 1 gallon of gas.

To solve this, we do: 380 / 14 = 27.14 miles for every 1 gallon

Okay, so if we have 1/2 a gallon stashed away, how far can we get on every 1/2 gallon...

To solve this, we do: 27.14 / 2 = 13.57 miles for every 1/2 gallon


So...

The answer is: We will NOT be able to get to the Gas Station that is 15miles away, because we can only go about 13.5 miles with every 1/2 gallon.

The graph shows the increase of the temperature over time in an oven what is the change in the y value and x value on the graph
Hatshy [7]

Let

x-------> the time in minutes

y-------> the temperature in Fahrenheit  degrees

A(2,150)\\B(3,190)

we know that

<u>the change in the y-values between two points is equal to</u>

(y2-y1)

Substitute the y-values of the point A and B in the formula

y2=190\\y1=150

(190-150)=40

<u>the change in the x-values between two points is equal to</u>

(x2-x1)

Substitute the x-values of the point A and B in the formula

x2=3\\x1=2

(3-2)=1

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

The change in the y-value is 40 and the change in the x-value is 1
