PLEASE HELP!! Make sure to give exact coordinates.

Sherry needs to sell T-shirts as a fundraiser for a charity. She starts with 40 T-shirts and begins selling at a constant rate of 5 T-shirts each day.


Plot a graph representing the number of T-shirts Sherry has left to sell from the time she begins selling until the T-shirts are gone.

PLEASE HELP!! Make sure to give exact coordinates. Sherry needs to sell T-shirts as-example-1

Final answer:

To plot the graph representing the number of T-shirts Sherry has left to sell, set up a coordinate system with the x-axis representing the number of days and the y-axis representing the number of T-shirts left. Sherry starts with 40 T-shirts and sells 5 T-shirts each day. The graph would be a straight line starting at (0, 40) and decreasing by 5 for each unit increase in x.

Step-by-step explanation:

To plot the graph representing the number of T-shirts Sherry has left to sell, we can set up a coordinate system with the x-axis representing the number of days and the y-axis representing the number of T-shirts left. Sherry starts with 40 T-shirts, and she sells 5 T-shirts each day. So, for each day, the number of T-shirts left would be given by the equation y = 40 - 5x, where x is the number of days.

We can plot the points for different values of x. For example, for x = 0, y = 40. This means on day 0, Sherry has 40 T-shirts left. For x = 1, y = 35. This means on day 1, Sherry has 35 T-shirts left. We can continue this for different values of x until all the T-shirts are gone.

The graph would be a straight line starting at (0, 40) and decreasing by 5 for each unit increase in x. The x-axis would represent the number of days and the y-axis would represent the number of T-shirts left.

Answer:

I actually got it wrong at first because I did not listen to the instructions. I provided a picture of how it is correct. The little red lines, those are WRONG. The yellowish line, that is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Don't get it wrong like I did. Copy the picture. Remember, only the yellow line that goes from up to down. Not the four red lines. Those were the ones I did and got wrong.
