Answer:

y = -2x + 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the linear equation, y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept.

In this situation, the y intercept is 20, since the starting amount of gasoline is 20 gallons.

The slope will be -2, since 2 gallons are drained per minute.

Plug in these values:

y = mx + b

y = -2x + 20

So, the linear equation is y = -2x + 20
