Question

Help me pls!!

Answer 1

(a) Truck carries 90 gallons of diesel fuel to 660 miles.

So, 1 gallon of diesel fuel to 660/90 = 22/3 miles.

30 gallons of diesel fuel to  = 220 miles.

Hence, if x-axis represents the number of miles and y-axis represents the number of gallons, then, (660, 90) and (220, 30) are points on the graph.

Join (660, 90) and (220, 30), we get the graph of a line.

Note that (0, 0) is also a point on the line.

Equation of the line is .

(b) x represents the number of miles. Therefore, the possible values for x is the closed interval [0, 660].

Hence, the domain of the function is [0, 660].

(c) Origin represents that the truck is not moving and there is no diesel fuel loaded in the truck.
