The price for gasoline is represented by the equation y = 2.72x, where y r represents the total price for x gallons of gasoline
1 answer:
Answer:
Statement A is TRUE.
Given an x value of 15, y would be ;
= 2.72 * 15
= 40.8
Coordinates would therefore be (15, 40.8)
Statement B is FALSE.
The coordinates of Y given are impossible given the coordinates of X. In this scenario, Y must always be greater than X as a result of the equation.
Statement C is TRUE.
The slope in the equation takes the form of the $2.72 price being charged per gallon of gasoline such that the total price of x gallons can be calculated by multiplying the number of gallons by $2.72
Statement D is FALSE.
If the price of gasoline were to decrease by $0.03, the slope would become 2.69 not 2.75. 2.75 would be the new slope if the price had increased by $0.03 instead of decreased.
