Answer:
- y-intercept: 2000
- rate of change: 500
Step-by-step explanation:
When Timon starts, he is already $2000 in debt. If we represent Timon's debt with positive numbers, the y-intercept will be $2000.
Timon's debt seems to be increasing at the rate of $500 per month. That value is the rate of change.
After m months, Timon's debt d will be ...
d = 500m + 2000
