Question

The X axis on the graph below shows the number of gallons of gas in the truck gas tank. The X axis represents the number of miles Ozzy has driven since filling up. what is the x-intercept and what is the y-intercept?

### Graph Interpretation and Problem Solving

#### Problem Statement
1. Ozzie filled up the gas tank of his truck. The graph below shows the relationship between the miles driven and the amount of gas in the truck's gas tank.

#### Graph Explanation
- **Axes Description**:
  - The *x-axis* represents the number of miles driven, ranging from 0 to 350 miles.
  - The *y-axis* represents the amount of gas in gallons, ranging from 0 to 18 gallons.

- **Data Representation**:
  - The graph displays a straight line descending from the point where the y-axis intersects the line at 18 gallons (y-intercept), down to the point where the x-axis intersects at 300 miles (x-intercept).

#### Questions
a. Identify the x-intercept (write the ordered pair).

b. Identify the y-intercept (write the ordered pair).

2. At McDonald's, 4 chicken nuggets cost ...

(Note: The second problem statement regarding McDonald's seems to be incomplete based on the provided image. Make sure to clarify or expand this problem context in your educational material.)

### Solutions
a. **X-Intercept**: The point where the line crosses the x-axis is (300, 0). Therefore, the ordered pair for the x-intercept is **(300, 0)**.

b. **Y-Intercept**: The point where the line crosses the y-axis is (0, 18). Therefore, the ordered pair for the y-intercept is **(0, 18)**.

### Classroom Activity
Encourage students to discuss the significance of the x-intercept and y-intercept in the context of the truck's gas usage. Understanding these points helps in interpreting real-life data through graph analysis.

This material can be utilized to reinforce students' understanding of graph interpretation, intercept identification, and practical applications of linear equations.
