Question

this graph shows how the amount of gas remaining is related to the number of miles flown. gas left in an airplanes tank if the airplane flew 10 miles, how many gallons of gas would be left in the tank? 2 gallons 5.5 gallons 2.5 gallons 3 gallons

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the graph

The x - axis represents the distance flown (in miles) and the y - axis represents the gas remaining (in gallons).

Step2: Locate the point for 10 miles

On the x - axis, find the value 10. Then move vertically until you intersect the line. Then move horizontally to the y - axis.

When \(x = 10\) (miles), from the graph, the corresponding \(y\) (gas remaining) value is 2.5 gallons.

Answer:

2.5 gallons
