Answer 2

Answer:

He was given $60 for his birthday.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is $y = 75x + 60$

y represents the amount of money and x represents the number of deposits

The equation $y=mx+b$

where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

The coefficient of x is the slope

the number without any variable is the y intercept

$y = 75x + 60$

In the given equation , 60 is the y intercept

60 is the initial money deposited

He was given $60 for his birthday.
