An arcade deducts 3.5

points from your 50
-point game card for each game you play.

The linear equation y=−3.5x+50
represents the number of points y
on your card after x
games are played.

Answer: graph is attached

Explanation:

your equation is y = -3.5x + 50

your slope is - 3.5, your y intercept is 50

to graph it yourself using a line tool

start your first point at the y intercept of 50

put your first point

next, your slope is - 3.5 this means y/x for slope is -3.5 / 1

rise is -3.5 down and run is over right +1

because we want a straight line and the slope is a fraction, make a table and you can use points that are on exact numbers instead of fractions.

at x = 0, y = 50

at x = 1, y = 46.5 ( 50 - 3.5)

at x = 2, y = 43 (46.5 - 3.5)

at x = 3, y = 39.5 ( 43 - 3.5)

at x = 4, y = 36 ( 39.5 - 3.5)

you can graph the even numbers and draw your line.

see attached graph and table.
