Question 1034625
Don't have the diagram but I think I can help...if the slope is 5.6, we have
y = 5.6x + b
for starters...now with x = 45, we have y = 2352 and we can find b...
2352 = 5.6(45) + b
2352 = 252 + b
b = 2100
Thus our equation is
y = 5.6x + 2100
With only 14 gallons, x = 14 and
y = 5.6(14) + 2100 = 2178.4 pounds
