Write an algebraic expression for the current situation.

The algebraic expression is .

First find the y-intercept.

Compare the equation with slope intercept form y = mx + b, where m is slope and b is y-intercept.

The y-intercept is 1200, so the graph intersects the y-axis at .

Slope is 125.

Graph the equation:

       1.    First draw a coordinate plane.

2.     Plot the point (0, 1200).

3.     Plot the point using slope.

           Slope . Start at point (0, 1200), move 125 unit up and move 1 right side. Plot the point (1, 1325).

        4.     Plot the line through these points

Graph for the linear equation is
