Mia works at a skateboard shop and she gets 25 dollars per month

y -intercept = $200

Since at y -intercept x = 0

So coordinate is : (0,200)

x -intercept = 8 months

Since, at x intercept y = 0

So, coordinate is (8, 0)

The general equation of line is express as :


y-y_1=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)(x-x_1)

Substitute the coordinates : (8,0) (0,200)


\begin{gathered} y-y_1=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)(x-x_1) \\ y-0=(200-0)/(0-8)(x-8) \\ y=(-200)/(8)(x-8) \\ y=-25(x-8) \\ y=-25x+200 \\ y=200-25x \end{gathered}

Equation : y = 200 - 25x

Substitute the coordinates on the graph :

So, the graph of the equation y = 200 - 25x is
