Answer :
The y-intercept is 60 so say you start with 60 apples. And the x-intercept is 5 so lets say you eat them all in 5 days. So the equation would look somthing like this [tex]Y=-12x+60[/tex] and would end up having a word problem that says somthing like "Jimmy has 60 apples and eats 12 a day how many days go by before Jonny has no more apples ?"
