Question

I need help with this question! Will mark brainliest :)

Answer 1

Answer:

A. -1/5

B. 8 gallons

C. 75 miles driven

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A is essentially just asking for the slope, which is written as a fraction with the numerator being the number of units the line goes up/down and the denominator being the number of units the line goes left/right. Because the line is going down from left to right, the slope is negative. The slope is -1/5.

Part B can be answered by simply looking at the graph and seeing where the line is at above 175 miles, which is 8 gallons.

Part C can be answered in the same way as Part B, by looking at where the line is at when level with 12 gallons, which is 75 miles driven.
