Answer 2

Answer: The graph of line y= 200+25x represents the given situation.

Explanation:

Here, y represents the total calories he takes while x represents ounces of fruit smoothies with his cereal.

And, He knows that a bowl of his favorite cereal with milk has 200 calories.

Also, He also likes to drink a fruit smoothie with his cereal where Each ounce of the smoothie adds 25 calories.

Therefore, y = 200+ 25x is the total calories he takes after drinking the x ounces fruit smoothie with his cereal.

The x- intercept of the above line = (-8,0)

And, y-intercept = (0,200)

If x= 1 y=225

If x=-1 y= 175

Therefore, (1,225) and (-1,175) are the point of the above lines

Thus, with help of above information we can plot the graph of line y = 200+ 25x.
