Question 446639: Translate to an equation:
p $25 potted plants and s $20 shrubs total $300
Graph the equation and use the graph to determine three different combinations of potted plants and shrubs that total $300
How should I graph it? I don't really get it.
My answer (Is that correct?):
25p + 20s = 300

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
your equation is good

draw a set of perpendicular axes, label one axis p and the other s

find the intercepts (by setting p and then s equal to zero in your equation) and mark them on the appropriate axes

the graph is the line connecting the intercepts ___ it should pass through several integer pairs for p and s
