George is driving cross country. The gas gauge on the car measured 20.6 gallons after driving 63 miles away from the last fill up. Later, on the same tank of gas, the gauge read 9.6 gallons after drive a 182 miles away from that last fill up.
(1) What is the slope of this line in Gallons per Mile?--------------- Gal/Mi. (round to the nearest 100th)
(2) What is the G-Intercept of the graph--------------------? gallons (round to the nearest 10th)
Hint: You will need to use Point-Slope Equation and then solve for G
(3) What is the equation of this line in Slope-Intercept form---------------? G= (enter like 2/3d+6)
(4) How many gallons are left after driving for 131 miles--------------? gallons
(5) How many miles have been driven when there is only 4 gallons left in the tank------------------? miles traveled.
In other words, how many miles should be driven before looking for a gas station?
Solution
