Given:
The function that represents how the amount of fuel changes as a function of distance flown is

where x represents miles flown, and f(x) represents the amount of fuel remaining.
To find:
The rate of change for this scenario.
Solution:
The slope intercept form of a linear function is
...(i)
Where, m is the slope or rate of change and b is the y-intercept.
We have,
...(ii)
On comparing (i) and (ii), we get

Therefore, the rate of change for this scenario is -0.9. It means, the amount of fuel in the airplane is decreasing by 0.9 gallons per mile.
Answer:
d) 
Go to station 10
Step-by-step explanation:

Expand:


Subtract 41 from both sides:


Divide both sides by -1:


Answer:
8.9
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer is 8.9 because two negatives divided by each other equals a positive. In this case, there are two negatives so you know the answer will be a positive. In the end when you divided –65.86 ÷ (–7.4), you get 8.9!
