Math Problem Statement
Solution
As the number of miles driven increases, the amount of gas used also increases. This relationship is visible in the scatter plot, where the data points follow an upward trend. It suggests a positive linear relationship between the miles driven and the gas used—when more miles are driven, more gas is consumed.
Would you like me to explain how to analyze the trend further, such as calculating the slope or determining the equation of the line?
Here are 5 related questions:
- How can you determine the rate of gas consumption (miles per gallon) from the graph?
- What does the slope of the line represent in this context?
- How would the graph look if Izzy's car became more fuel-efficient?
- Can we use this graph to predict gas usage for 500 miles driven? How?
- What are the limitations of using this scatter plot for predictions?
Tip: In a positive linear relationship like this, the slope tells you how much gas is used per mile. It helps estimate fuel efficiency!
