Question

5. Write the equation for this situation: the value, v, in hundreds of dollars, of Debbie’s coin collection is 10 dollars more than 1/2 of the age, t (in years).

Then graph the equation and use the graph to determine the value of Debbie’s coin collection if it is 8 years old.

Please show all of your work. This is my work:

v = (1/2)t + 10

v = (1/2)(8) + 10

v = 4 + 10

v = 14

If t=8, then v=14

Ans:The value of Debbie"s coin collection in 8 years is $14.
Now I have no idea how to graph this.
