Question

The table of values below represents a linear function and shows Marco’s progress as he is pumping gas into his car. What is the output for the initial value?

Gas in Marco’s Car
Seconds Spent Pumping Gas
0
12
24
36
48
Gallons of Gas in Car
3
5
7
9
11
0 gallons
2 gallons
3 gallons
6 gallons

Answer 1

in this case, initial value would mean the outputvalue (gallons of gas) when the input value (seconds spent pumping gas) is 0

so simply look at the table to see how many gallons of gas there are when seconds = 0
