Answer: 2/3

Step-by-step explanation: To identify the slope of this line, we first need to convert this equation to slope-intercept form.

In slope-intercept or y = mx + b form, the y

is by itself on the left side of the equation.

So our first task in this problem is to get y by itself

on the left side of the equation and we do that by

first adding 2x to both sides to get 3y = 2x + 6.

Notice that I put the x term first on the right side of the equation and then the number because in y = mx + b form, the x term comes first on the right side of the equation.

Continuing on, to get y by itself we would

divide both sides by 3 to get y = 2/3x + 2.

Now in y = mx + b form, the slope is coefficient of the x term.

So we can see that the slope of this line is 2/3.

For a two week period, John and Amanda had the following transactions occur to their checking account: a deposit of $1,644.50; c

Andru [333]

deposit of $1644.50 is (gain)

check written and deposit are (loses) subtracted

so total of 3 checks :- 190$ + 45$ + 7.50$ = 242.50$

total of 4 debit cards :- 30$ + 5.59$ + 7.20$ + 21.30$ = 64.09$

total lose amount ( credits + debits ) = 242.50 $ + 64.09$ = 306.59$

Ending balance = Total amount - total loses =

1644.50$ - 306.59 $ = 1337.91$

Answer:

Change per week: $20

Starting amount of money: $550

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation:

$y=550+20x$

where:

x = number of weeks
y = total account balance

Change per week

As the variable x represents the number of weeks, its coefficient represents the change per week in the amount of money.

Therefore, the change per week in the amount of money in the account is $20.

Initial Balance

The starting amount of money in the account (initial balance) will be the value of y when x = 0:

$\implies y=550+20(0)=550$

Therefore, the starting amount of money in the account is $550.
