Mikayla went on a road trip. Two hours into the road trip, she had 15 gallons of gas in her tank. Seven hours into her trip, she had 3 gallons of gas in her tank. Find the rate of change

-2.4 gallons per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Think of this as a linear equation where the rate of change is m.

m = (Y₂ - Y₁) / (X₂ - X₁)

Assume the points are: (2, 15) (7, 3)

m = (3 - 15) / (7 - 2)

= (-12) / 5

= - 2.4 gallons per hour

Gas is reducing by 2.4 gallons per hour.
