f(x) = mx + b



My MAT116 class is teaching me a lot about algebra. This week I am studying functions and graphing functions. The formula above is one that I came up with to determine how much gas is left in a 15 gallon tank which allows a car to travel 300 miles on one tank. The table below that I produced on my TI84 to show incrimentally how the gas is used, and all is summed up with the graph at the bottom. This has been one of my funnest and most challenging classes.
