Answer:

Explanation:

you have to plot the y-intercept first so since we know that the y-intercept is 500 from the y=mx+b format, you have to plug in (0,500). Then, we use the slope or the m provided in the equation with is -20. This means you have to go down 20, and right 1 since it is -20/1 or 20 down and 1 run. then you just connect the dots to finish your line.
