Question

Jesus wants to start saving for college. His parents started an account for him that currently holds $325. Jesus adds $50 each month. Label the y-intercept, the slope, and your axes

Answer 1

Answer:

y-intercept, c = 325

Slope, m = 50

The x-axis represents the number of months and y-axis represents the total amount in saving accounts.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

A saving account currently holds $325. Jesus adds $50 each month.

Let x be the number of months and y be the total money n the saving account.

Then, we can use a linear function to represent the money in the account.

$y(x) = 325 + 50x$

Comparing to general linear function,

$y = mx + c$

where m is the slope and tells the rate of change and c is the y-intercept that is the value when x is zero.

Comparing we get:

m = 50

c = 325

y-intercept = c = 325

Slope, m = 50

The x-axis represents the number of months and y-axis represents the total amount in saving accounts.
