It takes 3 1/2 gallons of gas to travel 8 and 3/4 miles what is the unit rate of miles per gallon

2 1/2 miles per gallon

Step-by-step explanation:

So to travel 8 3/4 miles, we need 3 1/2 gallons of gas. All we need to do is divide the gallons of gas by miles. So we would do 8 3/4 divided by 3 1/2. 3 1/2 goes into 8 3/4 2 1/2 times.

step-by-step explanation:

let

we know that

the y-intercept is the y-coordinate of the point when the value of x is equal to zero

so

the y-coordinate of the point a is the y-intercept

the answer part a) is

the value of y-intercept is

part b) find the slope m

we know that

the value of the slope is equal to

substitute the values

therefore

the answer part b) is

the value of the slope is equal to

the general answer is

the slope is

the value of y-intercept is

a) y = -3x +2

b) y = 1/2x -6

these 2 can be combined into one equation.

-3x +2 = .5x -6

8 = 3.5x

x = 8 / 3.5 = 2.2857142857

y = -3 * (8 / 3.5) +2

y = (-24 / 3.5) + 2

y = -4.8571428571
