Can someone please help me.. I have no idea how to do this...

OpenStudy (celinegirl):

OpenStudy (celinegirl):

plot your points...and you will notice that if you start at the y axis....and your slope is -2/3...that means start at (0,490)....go down 2 spaces then to the right 3 spaces, then down 2, then to the right 3...you will cross the x axis at (735,0).

OpenStudy (love_333):

What is your question exactly?

OpenStudy (celinegirl):

I have to plot intercepts on the graph using that information

OpenStudy (celinegirl):

@Love_333

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

did you post the right picture? It doesn't match up

OpenStudy (love_333):

Yeah, I feel the same as @jim_thompson5910 . The picture doesn't match the question..

OpenStudy (celinegirl):

@jim_thompson5910 im not sure.. maybe i have to create a new graph to match the information.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

can you post the full screenshot of the entire problem?

OpenStudy (love_333):

yes ^

OpenStudy (love_333):

Will you try to post a full picture of all the problem?

OpenStudy (celinegirl):

Hold on! i posted the wrong this...

OpenStudy (celinegirl):

Graph the function. On the graph, make sure to label the intercepts. You may graph your equation by hand on a piece of paper and scan your work or you may use graphing technology.

OpenStudy (celinegirl):

here's the function: f(x) = -2/3x + 490

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

ok if you were to replace x with 0, then the result would be 490, agreed?

OpenStudy (celinegirl):

@jim_thompson5910 yeah

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so the y intercept is (0,490) on the vertical y axis, mark a point at 490

OpenStudy (celinegirl):

@jim_thompson5910 sorry i know this is much but can you draw it?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

|dw:1445467403908:dw|

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

490 is somewhere between 400 and 500, closer to 500 |dw:1445467464417:dw|
