Question

The table shows the gallons of fuel remaining after a car travels a certain distance in miles.

The change in fuel remaining from one row to the next in the table is _______ gallon(s).

The change in distance from one row to the next in the table is _____ mile(s).

The slope of the line that runs through the points given in the table is ______.

The slope indicates a _______.

Answer 1

the  answer is -0.04 ,1 ,-0.04 ,loss of 0.04 gallons of fuel for every 1 mile 

Answer 2

Answer: The black will filled by (1) -0.04, (2) 1 , (3)-0.04 and (4) Change in the fuel remaining in each mile.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given table we can noticed that the fuel remaining (gallons) decreases as distance (miles).

It is clear that the distance increases by 1 mile for each next row and the remaining fuel is changed for each next row is,

`change=13.46-13.50=-0.04`

The change in fuel remaining from one row to the next in the table is -0.04 gallons.

The change in distance from one row to the next in the table is 1 mile.

The slope is the rate of change of remaining fuel with respect to change in distance.

`m=(-0.04)/(1) =-0.04`

The slope of the line that runs through the points given in the table is -0.04.

The slope indicates a Change in the fuel remaining in each mile. The slope is -0.04 it means the remaining fuel decreases by 0.04 gallons in each mile.
