Reid volunteers at the peer-tutoring center after school. He spends 30 minutes every day helping other students with their schoolwork, then goes home to finish his own work. Let $m$ be the minutes his own schoolwork takes, and let $t$ be the total minutes he spends on schoolwork. The equation $t = m + 30$ represents this situation. Graph the equation.
