Question

Jackson is an airline pilot. During a one-hour flight, his airplane burns 60​ gallons of fuel each minute. If the amount of fuel remaining in the tank over the course of the flight was represented by a graph in the coordinate plane, will the slope of the line be positive, zero, or negative? Explain how you came to your conclusions.

Answer 1

Answer: 0

Step-by-step explanation: Because it is a 1 hour flight (also equivalent to 60 minutes) and there is 60 gallons of fuel and it burns 1 gallon per minute, by the end of the flight there'd be 0 gallons left if 1 gallon was subtracted every minute.
