Answer 1

Answer:

3 gallons per mile, slope of 3

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how many gallons the train uses per mile, look at the point (50,150). If you know that the train used 150 gallons to travel 50 miles, do 150/50 to get an answer of 3 gallons per mile.

For the second part, you know that as x increases by 1 (miles traveled) y (gallons) increases by 3, so therefore the slope is 3. You can also check this value by plugging in the points (150,450) and (50,150) into the $m=\frac{x_{2} - x_{1}}{y_{2} - y_{1}}$
