Answer 1

Answer:

Equation of the line $y = 240x+200$ that models the amount of money y in her account x years from now.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Christie has $200 in her bank account. She deposits $20 in a month into her account.

as per the given statement:

In 1 month she deposits $ 20

then,

in 1 years(i.e 12 months) she deposits = $12 \times \ 20 = \ 240$

Let y be the amount of money and x be the number of years.

then,

the equation of line models the amount of money y in her account  x years from now is;

$y = 240x+200$

Answer 2

Every month she deposits 20......so every year she deposits (20 * 12) = 240

y = 240x + 200
