Question

An investor invests $500 in a certain stock. After the first six months, the value if the stock has increased at a rate of $20 per month. Sketch a graph that represents the situation.

Answer 1

i cannot draw a graph so im going to explain
on the bottom u write per month and on the side and then increase the amount of money by 20$.

Answer 2

We know that:

• Total investment is $500.
• The stock give $20 per month.

Based on this, we can make a table and then graph. x variable is gonna be months, and y variable is gonna be the money. We just need to write six months, and each month increase $20. The initial condition is x=0, in this moment, the money is $500.

x y

0 500

1 520

2 540

3 560

4 580

5 600

6 620

Remember that each
`(x;y)` pair represents a point to graph the function.
