Slope is the change in y/ change in x so the equation will be:
-2= (1-y)/(-6-(-5)) -> simplify -> -2= 1-y/-1 -> multiply both sides by -1 -> 2=1-y -> simplify and -y= 1 -> y=-1
Think about it do you think it's subtraction or addition?
First you need to know how many pounds of carbon dioxide you get when burning 1 gallon of gasoline. That number is 19.64 pounds
To get the number of pounds released when entire tank is burned you need to multiply gas tank volume and number of pounds you get when 1 gallon is burned.
17.2 * 19.64 = 337.808
Add 26 to each side of the equation !
