Graph

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The equation y = 8x + 12, where x is the number of hours and y is the total cost, represents what the surf instructor charges for lessons.

Find: How to draw the line on a graph.

Solution:

Give linear equation is y = 8x + 12. So when we plot this information on a graph, it will be a straight line.

Let's try to find out the co-ordinates on this line.

When x = 0, y = 12. The line will cut the Y-axis at (0,12)

When x = 1, y = 20.

When x = 2, y = 38.

When x = -1, y = 4.

When x = -2, y = -4.

Plot the co-ordinates (0,12), (1,20), (2, 38), (-1, 4) and (-2,-4) on a graph. The line joining these co-ordinates will be a straight line that cuts the Y axis at (0,12).

This line represents what the surf instructor charges for lessons.

Answer:

Its easy.

Step-by-step explanation:

Plot a number of hours against total cost graph.

(1) by y=mx+c

The line with slope of 8 and y-intercept is 12.

The other way to plot a graph is put some integer into x to find out y, vice versa.For example when y=12,

x is equal to 0.

when y= 20,

x is equal to 1.

You can find out 3 point and join the line.

Finally the graph is finished.

Hope this helps you!!
