Let x and y represent the numbers of gallons used by the 40 mpg and 35 mpg cars, respectively.
.. x +y = 40 . . . . . . . . . . .total consumption is 40 gallons
.. 40x +35y = 1525 . . . . total miles driven = 1525
Multiply the first equation by 40 and subtract the second.
.. 40(x +y) -(40x +35y) = 40(40) -(1525)
.. 5y = 75
.. y = 15
.. x = 40 -15 = 25
The 40 mpg car consumed 25 gallons.
The 35 mpg car consumed 15 gallons.
Since 5 miles is equaled to 4 inches multiply the 8 miles by 4/5 to get 6 2/5

Answer:
y=2/3x-11/3
Step-by-step explanation:
to find the y intercept, you can input your values into the equation:
b=y1−m⋅x1
When you do that, you get:
b=−1−(2/3)⋅(4)=−11/3
When you convert that equation into y=mx+b form, you get:
y=2/3x-11/3
