I have no idea what I am doing. Here is one of my problems,

A gas station sells 1500 gallons of gasoline per hour if it charges $ 2.10 per gallon but only 1300 gallons per hour if it charges $ 2.95 per gallon. Assuming a linear model

(a) How many gallons would be sold per hour of the price is $ 2.70 per gallon?
(b) What must the gasoline price be in order to sell 800 gallons per hour?
(c) Compute the revenue taken at the four prices mentioned in this problem -- $ 2.10, $ 2.70, $ 2.95 and your answer to part (b). Which price gives the most revenue?

You need to set up a linear graph. One side with gallons and the other with dollars. Point 1 will be at (1500, 2.10). Point 2 (1300, 2.95). Draw a straight line through these points in your graph and your graph will then give you the answers to your other questions.
