Answer
Refer to the graph below.
Work Step by Step
Recall:
(1) The $x$-intercept of a linear equation can be found by setting $y=0$ then solving for $x$.
(2) The $y$-intercept of a linear equation can be found by setting $x=0$ then solving for $y$.
Find the $x$-intercept by setting $y=0$ to obtain:
\begin{align*}
0&=0.001x-20\\
20&=0.001x\\
\frac{20}{0.001}&=\frac{0.001x}{0.001}\\
20,000&=x
\end{align*}
Thus, the $x$-intercept is $(20000, 0)$.
Find the $y$-intercept by setting $x=0$ to obtain:
\begin{align*}
y&=0.001(0)-20\\
y&=-20\\
\end{align*}
Thus, the $y$-intercept is $(0, -20)$.
Plot the intercepts and connect them using a straight line. Refer to the graph above.
