The graph shows how many miles per [one] gallon of gasoline. From that you know that the slope is miles per gallon because the y-axis will be number of miles and x-axis will be number of gallons. Since slope is change in y over change in x, the slope is number of gallons/mile.

Remember for ordered pairs, the x is first and the y is second. It will be (x, y).
So the first option, (0, 2), (1, 2), (2, 3), (1, 4), (3, 1), corresponds to this rule.
