The way you wrote the function, I don't blame you.

is nonsense in the context of your problem. You really mean:

Leave the scale of your

coordinates alone, but compress the

axis so that, presuming your

axis has a maximum of 10, your

axis has a maximum of about 2000. Furthermore make sure your

axis is labeled "$1000s" and is marked as the

axis.

Next pick a positive integer for

and substitute it for

in your function. Do the arithmetic to determine the value of

for the

value you selected. Create the ordered pair

and plot the point. Repeat for another positive integer value for

. Draw a straight line through your two points.
