Answer:

The correct option is C.

Explanation:

From the given graph it is clear that the x-intercept is 8 and y-intercept is 4.

A.

If Tabitha took 6 hours to drive to her friend’s house, then the x-intercept must be 6, which is not equal to 8.

According to the graph the Tabitha took 8 hours to drive to her friend’s house because the x-intercept is 8.

Therefore the option A is incorrect.

B.

If Matthew used 12 gallons of gas in all, then the the x-intercept must be 12, which is not equal to 8.

According to the graph the Matthew used 12 gallons of gas in all because the x-intercept is 8.

Therefore the option B is incorrect.

C.

Rosa will pay off her loan in the eighth month, then the the x-intercept must be 8.

Since the x-intercept of line is 0, therefore the option C is correct.

D.

Eight members of Hoi's family were each charged $4, then the function is defined as

f(x)=4x

Here the slope of line is 4.

According to the graph the line has negative slope.

Therefore the option D is incorrect.
