suppose a compact car uses 1 gallon of fuel for every 27 miles traveled. How would the graph for the compact car compare to the graph for the car shown?

Answer:
1. The meaning of (2, 40) is that - when 2 gallons of fuel is used, then the distance covered will be 40 miles.
2. Equation will be :
[tex]y=20x[/tex]
where y is the total distance in miles and x is the number of gallons used.
3. When we have to tell as per graph, that the car travels 27 miles in 1 gallon, the points will be : (1,27) , (2,54) , (3,81) and so on.
