Use the image to answer the question.

Using this graph of a linear equation as an example, create a real-world situation that the graph could model. In 3 to 5 sentences, explain what the graph is modeling.

The graph depicts a linear equation, where the x-axis represents time in months and the y-axis represents the number of customers. The line on the graph shows a steady increase in the number of customers over time. This could represent a real-world situation of a new business that is steadily gaining more customers each month. The slope of the line indicates a constant rate of growth, suggesting that the business is attracting a consistent number of new customers per month.
