Answer (a):
Coordinate: (0, 65)
Slope: -25
Explanation:
Hint: In the graph, make one space represent 5 units to make the graph simpler (be careful on step #4 when plotting)
1.) Find the y - intercept to find a coordinate the line goes through.
2.) Rewrite the equation -25x + y = 65 in slope - intercept form.
y = 25x + 65
65 is the y - intercept at (0, 65)
3.) The slope is -25, so the slope is negative. To have a slope of 25, we can use the rise/run formula for the slope.
4.) Go 25 units to the left (to get to -25) and one unit down. Plot this point in the graph.
5.) After you have plotted these two points down (y - intercept and slope), draw a line through it.
Answer (b):
$140
Explanation:
1.) We plug in 3 in x because it has three charms.
2.) New equation: -25(3) + y = 65
-75 + y = 65
3.) We add 75 to both sides to isolate y.
-75 + y = 65
+75 + y = 65 + 75
y = 140
