Question

y - 200 = -5(x - 24)
Graph

Answer 1

Answer:

The graph in the attached figure

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$y-200=-5(x-24)$

This is the equation of the line in point slope form

where

the slope is $m=-5$

the point is $(24,200)$

To graph the line i need two points

From the point (24,200) use the slope to find your next point

The slope is -5, so you will rise 5 (down) and run 1 (to the right).

The next point is (24+1,200-5) ----> (25,195)

Plot the points (24,200) and (25,195), join and graph the line

To better understand the problem find the intercepts

For x=0

$y-200=-5(0-24)$ ---> $y=120+200=320$

The y-intercept is (0,320)

For y=0

$0-200=-5(x-24)$ ---> $x=40+24=64$

The x-intercept is (64,0)
