Question

(Look at picture) thanks! <3

Answer 1

Here are the true statements:

• Initially, the gas tank has 10 gallons of gasoline. (This is the y-intercept of the equation G(t) = 10 - 2t)

• It takes 10 hours for the vehicle to run out of gas. (This is the x-intercept of the equation G(t) = 10 - 2t)

• The rate of gas consumption of the vehicle is 2 gallons per hour. The slope of G(t) represents the rate of fuel consumption of the vehicle.

The false statement is:

The G-intercept of G(t) represents the total distance the vehicle traveled. The t-intercept of G(t) represents the time it takes the vehicle to run out of gas. (This is not the case, the y-intercept represents the initial amount of gas and the x-intercept represents the time it takes the vehicle to run out of gas)
