John draws a graph to show the amount of petrol his car used on a 250 mile journey.
| Distance travelled (miles) | Petrol (litres) |
|---|---|
| 0 | 45 |
| 50 | 38 |
| 100 | 31 |
| 150 | 24 |
| 200 | 17 |
| 250 | 10 |
A line graph showing the relationship between distance travelled (miles) on the x-axis and petrol (litres) on the y-axis. The x-axis ranges from 0 to 250 with major grid lines every 50 units and minor grid lines every 10 units. The y-axis ranges from 0 to 50 with major grid lines every 10 units and minor grid lines every 2 units. A straight line starts at (0, 45) and ends at (250, 10).
How much petrol was in John's car at the start of his journey?
How many more miles can John's car travel before it runs out of petrol?
