The graph of amount Tom owes his friend after a given time, <em>t</em>, is a straight line graph with a negative slope
Please find attached the required example of a possible graph that shows the amount Tom owes his friend
Reason:
Let <em>A</em> represent the amount of money Tom buys the boat with, let <em>x</em>
represent the amount of equal payment made and <em>y</em> represents the
amount Tom owes the friend after a given time, <em>t</em>, we have;
y = A - x·t
Therefore, the slope of the graph formed is <em>-x</em>, the y-intercept of the graph
is <em>A</em>, from which the graph that gives the amount of money, in dollars, Tom
owes his friend, as a function of time, in years can be presented as follows,
using example values;
A = $25,000 (Amount the Tom agrees to buy the boat)
x = $5,000 (Amount Tom pays each year for the boat)
By plugging in the above example values, the attached graph can be drawn using MS Excel
