depends on the hardness and how its used - i have a HB with a thin hard lead that i have been using for laying out drawings that has been in use about 2 years now - and then i use solid 3/8 inch thick graphite 9B pencils that go in about a week
I just tested it with my 6th grade class. We drew a line for 1/8 of a mile and it used 1/8 of the pencil lead. This reasoning means that we would use 1 inch of a pencil for 1 mile. Thus, the average 7inch pencil can draw 7 miles of a line. This does not take into account any variables such as the thickness of the lead, the pressure of the writer on the pencil, and the imperfect line that was drawn. However, I think it is safe to say that the 35 miles myth seems a bit far-stretched.

How do you sketch the graph of a line when your x-intercept and y-intercept is given?
-- With your pencil, place a dot at the x-intecept. -- Again using your pencil, place a dot at the y-intercept. -- Lay the pencil aside, and using your ruler, lay its straight edge such that the edge touches both dots. -- Now, while deftly stabilizing both the ruler and pencil simultaneously, carefully draw a straight line along the straight edge of the ruler. Draw it straight and draw it true. Draw it surely and draw it boldly, but draw it gently, lest thy pencil point fail, and snap, and you pass in an instant from the wizard to an object of derision and scorn. Draw it long or draw it short, the decision is none but yours. For a line hath no end, and if you draw it from dusk to an hundred dawns, and though you go where no one has gone before, and though you surely come to believe that an end is near, you but strive to touch the face of infinity. Yet you triumph even in your striving, for if your reach did not exceed your grasp, then for gosh sakes, what would a heaven be for ?
