Answer: p=30d

Explanation:

Given: The number of pounds p of fish that a dolphin eats in d days.

Since, A dolphin eats 30 pounds of fish per day.

Then the total number of pounds fish eaten by dolphin=30 times number of days.

Thus,
$p=30* d\\\Rightarrow\ p=30d$

To plot graph, we need to find to points that lie on the graph of function.

At d=0, p=0

At d=1, p=30

Then we have points = (0,0) and (1,30), draw a line from it.
