Understanding Graph Intercepts in a Driving Scenario

The video tutorial explains Autumn's journey from San Diego to San Francisco, focusing on interpreting a graph that represents her travel. The x-axis shows time in hours, and the y-axis shows the remaining distance. The x-intercept indicates the total travel time, while the y-intercept represents the total distance. The tutorial clarifies these concepts through examples and choices, helping viewers understand the significance of intercepts in the context of a real-world journey.

What does the x-axis represent in the graph related to Autumn's drive?

• The distance left to drive in miles

• The time in hours since leaving San Diego
