Answer:

The graph in the attached figure

Explanation:

Let

x-------> the number of cars washed

y------> the chess club's profit

we know that


y=5x-27 -----> linear equation that represent the chess club's profit

To plot the line find the intercepts

The y-intercept is equal to the point
(0,-27) ----> value of y for the value of x equal to zero

The x-intercept is equal to the point
(5.4,0) ----> value of x for the value of y equal to zero

Plot the line

the graph would start at y=-27 and go up at increments of 5 as x increases by 1.

next time you should really include the graphs in the question. makes it easier for everyone hun:)
