Question

The equation y = 1000x - 5000 represents the monthly profits of a start-up dry cleaning company. Time in months is x and profit in dollars is y. The first date of operation is when time is zero. However, preparation for opening the business began 3 months earlier with the purchase of equipment and supplies. Graph the linear function for x-values from -3 to 8

Answer 1

The attached graph represents the graph of the linear equation y = 1000x - 5000 on a scale of 1 to 1000 units on both axes

What are linear equations?

Linear equations are equations that have constant average rates of change, slope or gradient

How to graph the linear function?

The equation of the linear function is given as:

y = 1000x - 5000

The x values are given as:

x = -3 to 8

This means that the domain of the function is [-3, 8] or -3 <= x <= 8

So, we set x = -3 and x = 8, and we calculate the y values.

So, we have:

y = 1000 * -3 - 5000 = -8000

y = 1000 * 8 - 5000 = 3000

So, we draw two points at (-3, -8000) and (8, 3000) and connect the dots
