Question

The graph shows the cost of gasoline at a gas station. Find the cost in dollars per gallon.
The cost of the gasoline is ? per gallon.

Answer 1

$3.5/gallon

Explanation:

The slope of the line is the cost per gallon. Calculate Rise/Run:

Rise ((35/4) - 0) or (35/4)

Run ((5/2) - o) = (5/2)

Slope = Rise/Run = (35/4)/(5/2)

(35/4)*(2/5) = 7/2 or $3.5/gallon
