Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate in this case is slope of the line. The formula of a slope is m = [tex]\frac{y_{2} -y_{1} }{x_{2} -x_{1} }[/tex]  

(10, 325)

(4, 130)

m = [tex]\frac{325-130}{10-4}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{195}{6}[/tex] = 32.5 miles per gallon

The actual rate is less (better) than advertising.
