Answer:
It costs $15 a month to play the video game.
The initial cost is $45.
The y-variable represents the cost in dollars.
The x-variable represents the number of months.
Step-by-step explanation:
If you break the function down, you're going to have:
<u>Total = Monthly Cost + Initial Cost</u>
In this case, 15x is your monthly cost, as you can think of x as the number of months meaning:
- 15 for the first month (x = 1)
- 30 for the second month (x = 2)
- 45 for the third month (x = 3), and so on
Our initial cost is always going to be a set amount, thus our constant, $45.
This leaves y as our total, which makes sense, as it's all alone on one side of the equation, where as all the costs are bunched together on the right side.
Hope this helps!

Answer: Non proportional</h3>
Proportional equations are of the form y = kx, for some fixed constant k. The k value is the constant of proportionality.
The +100 at the end is why we don't have a proportional equation.
Visually all proportional equations go through the origin, meaning the lines have y intercept of 0. For y = 230x+100, the y intercept is 100.
