The slope of a line is defined as rise by run i.e. how much y value changes with respect to the change in x value. So the slope gives the steepness of the line.

Slope 0 indicates there is no change in y when the x value is changed and so the line with slope 0 is a horizontal line. A line with slope 1 shows with 1 unit change in x, y changes by 1 unit. Likewise slope equal 2 indicates with 1 unit change in x, y changes by 2 units.

We can see as the absolute value of slope is increasing, the change in y with respect to x is increasing i.e. the line is becoming more tilted or steep.

Hence, we can conclude that:
The graph of a line gets Steeper as the absolute value of the slope gets bigger.
C is the correct answer.

The domain is the set of allowed inputs, in this case t values. The smallest t value allowed is t = 0. The largest is t = 165. So that's why the domain is $0 \le t \le 165$

-------------------------------

The range is $0 \le H \le 40000$ since H = 0 is the smallest output of the function and H = 40,000 is the largest output. Like the domain, the range is the set of possible outputs of a function.

A motorcycle can travel 60 miles per gallon. Approximately how many gallons of fuel will the motorcycle need to travel 40 km?

Semenov [28]

The first thing to note is since one gallon= 60 miles then 1/2 gallon= 30 miles, now I know 1/2 is not an answer but it is easiest to decrease in moderate amounts. 1/2 gallon= 48 Km so we are close, and 1/2=0.5 so if we brought it down to 0.42 we would have 25.2 miles and 25.2 miles = 40.32. The question wants to know the approximate number and 40.32 is the closest we are going to get so the answer is 0.42
