You are running a fuel economy study. One of the cars you find is blue. can travel 40 1/2 miles on 1 1/4 gallons of gasoline. Another car is red. It can travel 27 1/5 miles on 4/5 gallons of gasoline. 1) What is the unit rate for miles per gallon for the blue car?

2) What is the unit rate for miles per gallon for the red car?

3) Which car could travel the greater distance on 1 gallon of gasoline?

constants mean the stopped points or the points on a graph that nothing is changing, hope this

step-by-step explanation:

-1/4 > -1 2/3. -1/4 is greater than -1 2/3 because it is closer to 0 on the number line.

one way is to plot 2 points and connect them which is what the answer choices seem to be doing

it seems to be using the y intercept and the slope

y=mx+b, m=slope, b=y-intercept (where the line hits the y axis)

slope=rise/run

y-intercept is where the line croses the y axis which is the y value where x=0

you seem to have given the wrong slope (you didn't put a number in front of te x, it should be 2/3 or 3/2 looking at the answer options)

y=? x-1

m=? because of your fault

b=-1

so it has a slope of ? and y intercept of -1, meaning it pases through (0,-1)

so draw point (0,-1) (so answer is one of the first 2 option)

if slope is 2/3, then go up 2 and right 3 then draw line through those 2 points

if slope is 3/2, then go up 3 and right 2 then draw line through those 2 points
