We are given that a car starts a journey with a full tank of gas. The equation y=16-0.05x relates the number of gallons of gas (y) left in the tank to the number of miles the car has traveled(x).

A. We will find y intercept by substituting x=0 in our equation,

y=16-0.05*0

y=16

Now let us find our x-intercept by substituting y=0 in our equation,

0=16-0.05x

0.05x=16

x=\frac{16}{0.05}=320

Therefore, x-intercept is 320 and y-intercept is 16.

B. Our x-intercept represents that after travelling 320 miles there were 0 or none gallons of gas left in tank.

C. Our y-intercept represents that there were 16 gallons of gas in car tank when car started the journey.

What is 2 less than 1/3 of the points,p, that the panthers scored in algebraic expressions
ziro4ka [17]
First, it is to be noted that the variable being used in this item is p. We get the value of 1/3 of p by multiplying 1/3 to p giving us p/3. Then, the word less means to subtract from p/3 the given value. Therefore, the final expression for this item is,
                                            p/3 - 2
