Answer:

60 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

The decreasing part is from (20,13) to (60,6), which gives an average rate of

Then, we have an increasing part from (60,6) to (120,10), which gives an average rate of

Basically, at 60 km/h the fuel used was 6 liters per 100 kilometers. Notice that the other velocities make the car to use more liters per kilometers.
