Answer:

the amount of fuel consumed every 100 kilometers is 62.5 litres.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the amount of fuel consumed every 100 kilometers.

Note: since the graph is a straight line graph (linear graph) the amount of fuel consumed every 100 kilometers is constant (i.e the same for every 100 kilometers). So, we only need to derive the amount of fuel consumed any 100 kilometers on the graph.

From the graph, the amount of fuel consumed for the first 100 kilometers is;

[tex]F = F_0 - F_{100} .........................1[/tex]

[tex]F_0 = 500\\F_{100} \simeq 437.5\\[/tex]

substituting into equation 1.

[tex]F = F_0 - F_{100} \\F = 500 - 437.5\\ F = 62.5 litres\\[/tex]

Therefore, the amount of fuel consumed every 100 kilometers is 62.5 litres.

Answer:

60 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the fuel consumption that corresponds to a distance of 100 kilometers, we need to find the relationship's rate of change. In linear relationships, the rate of change is represented by the slope of the line. We can calculate this slope from any two points on the line.
