John draws a graph to show the amount of petrol his car used on a 250 mile journey.

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).
