Question

caleb is driving on a long road trip. he created the graph below to represent the gallons of gas left in his tank. what is the meaning of the y - value when x = 1?

Explanation:

In a graph where \(x\) - axis represents time (in hours) and \(y\) - axis represents gas in tank (in gallons), the \(y\) - value for a particular \(x\) - value gives the value of the dependent variable (gas in tank) at that specific value of the independent variable (time). When \(x = 1\) (1 hour of driving), the \(y\) - value represents the number of gallons of gas left in the tank after Caleb has been driving for 1 hour.

Answer:

The number of gallons of gas left in the tank after Caleb has been driving for 1 hour.
