Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this, let's use a ratio of gallons of gas to miles the car is able to travel.

160 miles / 5 gallons is equal to 96 miles / x gallons, or 160/5 = 96/x.

Cross multiply to get 160x = (5)(96)

Multiply the 96 by the 5 to get 160x = 480

Divide both sides by 160 to get x = 3.

Rise over Run

Put the amount you go up or down on the Y-axis over how much you go right or the x-axis

the Y-intercept is found simply by looking where the graph crosses the y, if the equation is written instead of graphed, graph it using a graphing calculator, then use the information I gave you previously : )
