The most used payment plan to avoid being in debt today is the 20% payment plan. In this payment , you divide your income into several parts.
20% for paying up debts, 10 % for savings, and 70% for everything else.
So, assuming that x is the minimum amount of money, we know that
$ 512 + $70 = 20% . X
$ 582 = 0.2 . x
$ 582 / 0.2 = x
x = $ 2910
The 5 represents the starting distance from home. In other words, when t = 0, the value of y is y = 5. Replacing t with 0 leads to this y value. This is the y intercept. So at time 0 minutes, the ant is 5 units from home. Replace "units" with whatever units you happen to be using.
