Question
Based on a recent study, the probability that someone is a smoker decreases with the person's income. If someone's family income is x thousand dollars, then the probability (expressed as a percentage) that the person smokes is approximately y = −0.31x + 40 (for 10 ≤ x ≤ 100).† Round your answers to the nearest percent.(a)Graph this line on the window [0, 100] by [0, 50].The x y-coordinate plane is given.

Solution
(a) To graph this line, you would start by setting up your graph with the x-axis ranging from 0 to 100 and the y-axis ranging from 0 to 50. The equation of the line is y = -0.31x + 40. This tells us that the line starts at y = 40 when x = 0. As x increases, y decreases at a rate of -0.31 per unit of x. So, the line would slope downwards from left to right.
(b) To find the probability that a person with a family income of 30,000 is a smoker is approximately 31%.
