You have to find 10 locations that have gasoline, you are given the locations, and prices, how would you graph/represent this data?

Question

I got math homework and I don't know how to respond, I have all the data with me but I don't know how to represent the data, and analyze it, please help me. :)

Answer 1

You could find the distance each station is from a common point (say your home).  Then graph the distance from your home on the x axis and the price per gallon on the y axis and uses the data to decide which is the best deal for yoy.  For instance if the the cheapest gas is 30 miles away but there is a station that is only 10 cents more that is 5 miles away, it makes more sense to use the closer station.
