Answer:

Let x represents the number of the days, and y represents total number of the poem.

Since, Alex started with 3 poems in his journal. Then he started writing 2 poems each day.

Therefore, the line that describes the above situation is,

y = 3 + 2 x

The x -intercept of the line is (-1.5,0)

And, the y-intercept of the line is (0,3)

Also, if x = 1 y = 5

if x = 2 y = 7

If x = 4 y = 11

Thus, the points of the line are,

(1,5), (2,7) , and (4,11)

With the help of the above information we can plot the graph of the situation. ( shown below)
