My car gets 34 miles per gallon at 60 miles per hour. Is the number of miles I can drive at 60 miles per hour a linear function of the number of gallons of gas in the tank? Explain your reasoning. Yes, the number of miles that a car can travel with every gallon of gas is 34, which is constant. No, the number of miles that a car can travel with every gallon of gas varies, which is not constant. Correct: Your answer is correct. Identify the growth rate and initial value. (If an answer does not exist, enter DNE.) Growth rate 34 Correct: Your answer is correct. miles per gallon Initial value Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect. miles Using g for the number of gallons in the tank and M for the number of miles driven, find a formula M as a linear function of g. (If an answer does not exist, enter DNE.) M = Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect.
