Question

Layla is saving up money for a trip. She already has $650 saved and plans to save an additional $150 each month for the trip. Complete the equation that represents the total amount of money Layla has saved, s, after m months.

Answer 1

The amount of money that Layla has saved, s, is going to be what the equation equals. She earns $150 each month, so that would be 150m (slope intercept form equation s=em+b). B is the y-intercept, or the amount that Layla already has saved, which is positive $650.

Your equation is:

s=150m+650

I hope this helps :)
