Given:
The function that represents how the amount of fuel changes as a function of distance flown is

where x represents miles flown, and f(x) represents the amount of fuel remaining.
To find:
The rate of change for this scenario.
Solution:
The slope intercept form of a linear function is
...(i)
Where, m is the slope or rate of change and b is the y-intercept.
We have,
...(ii)
On comparing (i) and (ii), we get

Therefore, the rate of change for this scenario is -0.9. It means, the amount of fuel in the airplane is decreasing by 0.9 gallons per mile.

Put it like that and there’s your constant
The missing length would be 76m.
410 - x/7 +70 = 120
410+70-120=x/7
360=x/7
X =2520
