8 Graph the equation y = –20x + 500.
1 answer:
Answer:
Step-by-step 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.

Input (x-value)
Output (y-value)
You need to find the x-value that produces a y-value of -1. Since you know:
y = -1 Use the rule, and substitute/plug this into the equation
y = -2x + 33 Plug in -1 for "y" in the equation since y = -1
-1 = -2x + 33 Subtract 33 on both sides
-1 - 33 = -2x + 33 - 33
-34 = -2x Divide -2 on both sides to get "x" by itself
17 = x
An input of 17 yields an output of -1
