Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to get the equation that relates G to D

From the given question,

G represents what is left in the tank

D represents the total distance traveled

Initially, she has 18 gallons, this drops at the rate of 1 gallon per 35 miles

The equation of a straight line is:


y\text{ = mx + b}

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

Thus, we have it that:


G\text{ = 35D - 18}

Now, we proceed to plot the graph of the function:

For the points to plot:

when D = 20, g will be
