Question

The scatterplot below shows the relationship between the number of gallons of gasoline in the tanks of 14 cars, and the maximum number of miles the cars can be driven on the given amount of gasoline.

Gasoline
A graph has gallons in gas tank on the x-axis and maximum miles on the y-axis. A line goes through points (9, 280) and (12, 360).

Based on the data collected, which combination of gallons in the gas tank and maximum number of miles seems most likely to be possible?
0 gallons in the gas tank and 20 miles
9 gallons in the gas tank and 280 miles
11 gallons in the gas tank and 360 miles
19 gallons in the gas tank and 520 miles

Answer 1

9 gallons and 280 miles.

That point lies on the given line (the line goes through (9, 280)), so it matches the data exactly.
