    A) Y intercept occurs when x=0. Therefore it is 16

    X intercept occurs when y=0. Solve for x and get x=16/.05 or 320

    B) x intercept is how many miles you can drive until remaking gas is zero 320 Miles

    C) y intercept is amount of gas left in tank when you begin at zero miles or 16 gallons
