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

a) -0.04 gallon(s).

b)1 mile(s).

c) -0.04 (again)

d) loss of 0.04 gallons of fuel for every 1 mile.

Answer 2

The slope shows efficiency of the engine.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope indicates that the car travels a certain distance by using a specific amount of fuels. This slope shows efficiency of the engine of that car by using fuel to cover a specific distance. If the car travels more distance and used little amount of fuel so it means that the car engine has high efficiency whereas if the car used more fuel and covers little distance so we can say that it has low efficiency.
