Question

pedro 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 point \((x,y)\) gives a relationship between time and gas in the tank. When \(x = 1\) (1 hour of driving), the \(y\) - value represents the amount of gas left in the tank after 1 hour of driving.

Answer:

The \(y\) - value when \(x = 1\) represents the number of gallons of gas left in Pedro's tank after 1 hour of driving.
