Given:

The total amount of money Joshua saves is proportional to the number of weeks he works.

Joshua saves $50 every 2 weeks he works.

To graph:

The line shows the amount of money y, Joshua saves when he works for x weeks.

Explanation:

According to the question,

The equation will be

[tex]\begin{gathered} y\infty x \\ y=kx \end{gathered}[/tex]

Substituting x = 2 and y = 50 we get,

[tex]\begin{gathered} 50=k(2) \\ k=25 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore, the equation can be written as,

[tex]y=25x.........(1)[/tex]

Where x is the number of weeks and y is the savings.

When x = 0, we get y = 0,

When x = 1, we gett y = 25.

So, the points are

[tex](0,0),\text{ and \lparen1, 25\rparen}[/tex]

Therefore, the graph becomes,
