Answer:

G=-\frac{5}{4}t+15

Slope = -\frac{5}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the equation representing the number of gallons left in the gas tank is,

G = mt + b

Where m = slope of the line

b = y-intercept of the line

Slope of the line passing through two points (x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2) is,

'm' = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Slope of the line passing through (8, 5) and (4, 10),

m = \frac{10-5}{4-8}

m = -\frac{5}{4}

Equation of line will be,

G = -\frac{5}{4}t+b

Since, point (8, 5) lies on this line,

5 = -\frac{5}{4}(8)+b

5 = -10 + b

b = 15

Therefore equation of the function will be,

G = -\frac{5}{4}t+15

Here slope of the function represents the \frac{5}{4} gallons of gas is consumed to drive the car for one hour.

Lisa completed the table to describe the product of a mystery one - digit factor and factor and each numbers
deff fn [24]

Answer: part A is 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 and part B is Because the products all are even, the mystery factor must also be an even number. We have selected all of the even one-digit numbers.

Step-by-step explanation:

So, the number you need to find is between 0 and 9, because is a 1-digit number. For example, it cannot be 10 because 10 is a 2-digit number.

So, the number could be like 0,1,2,3...etc

In the table, the "X" in the left upper corner is the symbol for multiplication.

The "?" in the left lower corner represents the mystery number.

The table shows that the product of the mystery number and 1,2,3,4 and 5 is always an even number

For example, the product of the mystery number and 3 is even.

That means that our mystery must be even.

So, we know that the mystery number is between 0 and 9 and it must be even.

Therefore, the mystery number can be one of the following numbers:

0, 2, 4, 6, 8
