Question

suppose a compact car uses 1 gallon of fuel for every 27 miles traveled. How would the graph for the compact car compare to the graph for the car shown?

Answer 1

The answer to the question is it would add twenty seven every two times it goes up

Answer 2

1. The meaning of (2, 40) is that - when 2 gallons of fuel is used, then the distance covered will be 40 miles.

2. Equation will be :

`y=20x`

where y is the total distance in miles and x is the number of gallons used.

3. When we have to tell as per graph, that the car travels 27 miles in 1 gallon, the points will be : (1,27) , (2,54) , (3,81) and so on.
