The Thompson family is buying a car that can travel 70 miles on two gallons of gas. Assume that the distance traveled in miles y
varies directly with the amount of gas used x. This can be represented by y=35x. Graph the equation on the coordinate plane. How many miles does the car per gallon of gas?

Answer:
First option:
Step-by-step explanation:
The missing graph is attached.
The equation of the line in Slope-Intercept form is:
Where "m" is the slope and "b" is the y-intercept.
We can observe that:
1. Both lines have the same y-intercept:
2. The lines are solid, then the symbol of the inequality must be or
.
3. Since both shaded regions are below the solid lines, the symbol is:
Based on this and looking at the options given, we can conclude that the graph represents the following system of inequalities:
