The answer that I got was 7
Answer:
24.75 = 3*4.50 + x*4.50
x= 2.5 pounds of Granny Smith apples
Step-by-step explanation:
Gala apples = 3 lbs
Granny apples = x lbs
They cost 4.50 a pound
Total cost = 24.75
Total cost = gala apples * cost per pound + granny apples * cost per pound
Substitute in what we know
24.75 = 3*4.50 + x*4.50
24.75 = 13.50 + 4.5x
Subtract 13.50 from each side
24.75-13.50 = 13.50-13.50 + 4.5x
11.25 = 4.5x
Divide by 4.50 on each side
11.25/4.5 = 4.5x/4.5
2.5 =x

Detailed explanation:
Hii! I'm sorry, I can't graph the line for you, but I'll try to give you the best possible explanation.
First, note that the question provides us with the info that the y intercept is -8. This is a very valuable piece of information!
This means that the line crosses the y axis (since it's the y intercept) at the point (0,-8). Plot it on the co-ordinate plane.
Next, this question also provides us with the fact that the slope of the line is 1/4. This is yet another valuable piece of information!
What this tells us is: from that point (0,-8), you need to go up 1 unit, then over 4, and so forth, until you obtain a line.
