Javier wants to go to the movies. He has some money saved but does not want to use all his savings on a movie ticket. Javier's mother offers to pay some of the cost of the ticket for every pound of potatoes he peels for her. The graph shows the cost to Javier for the purchase of the movie ticket after peeling x pounds of potatoes for his mother.

Question

(Graph of x representing pounds, and y representing cost. Line going through (0,6) and (8,0) )
True or false questions:
1. The movie ticket is 6$
2. Javier can earn up to $8 peeling potatoes for his mother.
3. Javier's mother pays him $0.75 for each pound of potatoes he peels.
4. Javier does not have to use any of his own money toward the purchase of a movie ticket when he peels 8lb of potatoes.
5. Javier only needs to peel 2 lbs of potatoes to not use any of his own money.

you have the intercepts, so the equation of the line is
x/8 + y/6 = 1
Now use that to answer the questions.
