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?
answer
the number of gallons of gas at time x = 0.
the number of gallons in the tank after one hour.
the rate of change of gas in his tank over time.
how long it takes caleb to run out of gas.

Explanation:

In a graph where \(x\) - axis represents time (in hours) and \(y\) - axis represents gallons of gas in the tank, for a point \((x,y)\) on the graph, the \(x\) - value is the time and the \(y\) - value is the corresponding amount of gas. When \(x = 1\), the \(y\) - value gives the amount of gas at \(x=1\) hour.

Answer:

The number of gallons in the tank after one hour.
