Question 27259: Can anyone help me with this question?
I am so stumped with this one

In most businesses, increasing prices of their product can have a negative effect on the number of customers of the business. A bus company in a small town has an average number of riders of 800 per day. The bus company charges $2.25 for a ride. They conducted a survey of their customers and found that they will lose approximately 40 customers per day for each $.25 increase in fare.
Given the descriptions below, plot a graph of the function, explain your choice, and give the domain and range of the function.

Any help will be greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance
