The amount y(in dollars) of money you have left after playing x games at a carnival is y = -0.75x + 10. How much money do you have after playing eight games? Graph the equation and show your explanation.

y = -0.75(8) + 10 y = -6 + 10 y = 4 $4 dollars left after playing 8 games. Graph should begin at (0, 10) on the y-axis and move down three and four to the right.
