We are given that a car starts a journey with a full tank of gas. The equation
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,


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



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.

Answer:
(a) Equation: 
(b) 7.5 gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Current Gas = 10 gallon
Every Hour = -1.25 gallon
Solving for (a): An equation for the scenario
This question represents an Arithmetic Progression and will be solved using the following formula:

Solving for (b): In this case, n - 3
Substitute 3 for n in 



<em>7.5 gallon of gas left</em>
Notice that we need to look for the intervals of x and also for the intervals of y.<span> We can observe that t</span>here is a minimum between x = 0 and x = 1 because the graph is descending and then ascending and also the graph has a maximum value between y = -3 and y = -1.
