To analyze the situation:

1. Omar's Efficiency: The equation $y = 29.5x$ indicates that Omar's car achieves a constant mileage of 29.5 miles per gallon.

2. Paisley's Efficiency: Since her mileage is represented by a graph, we need to evaluate the graph to determine her car's efficiency, specifically the slope of the line if it is linear. The slope $m$ of the line in a distance-gas graph represents the miles per gallon (mpg).

Questions to clarify:

• Does Paisley's graph depict a straight line?
• If it's a straight line, what are two distinct points on the graph?
• If the graph isn't linear, how does the curve behave?

Please provide more information, like the graph or details about it, so I can help you compare the efficiencies of the two cars and answer further questions.

Would you like me to guide you on how to determine the slope or interpret the graph?
