A FedEx freight truck carries three tons of packages 660 miles on 90 gallons of diesel fuel from Miami, Fl to Atlanta, Ga. FedEx
makes a graph to represent the miles per gallon the truck uses.
(a) Sketch a graph to represent the situation. Use one axis to represent the number of miles and the other axis to represent the number of gallons. Label your intercepts.
(b) What is the domain in this situation? explain you answer.
(c) What does the origin of the graph represent in this situation? explain your answer

I encountered this problem before but it had an accompanying image and list of answer choices.
I'll attach the image and include the list of options.
Each unit on the grid stands for one mile. Determine two ways to calculate the distance from Josie's house to Annie's house.
A) Distance Formula and Slope Formula
B) Midpoint Formula and Slope Formula
C) Distance Formula and Midpoint Formula
<span>D) Distance Formula and Pythagorean Theorem
</span>
My answer is: D.) Distance formula and Pythagorean Theorem.
When looking at the image, I can visualize a right triangle. I'll simply get the measure of the long and short legs and solve for the hypotenuse.
Since the distance formula is derived from the Pythagorean theorem, it can be used to determine the distance from Josie's house to Annie's house.
