Answer 1

Answer:

y=-135x+1500

Step-by-step explanation:

first you see that the starting point of the equation in $1500( y-axis) which would be the b part of the equation

Next you would take (4,960) which is at 4 months he had $960 left and (6,690) where at 6 months he had $690 left.

You would do change of y over change of x to get -135 as your slope

then you would plug in the finial equation y= -135x(slope)+ 1500( your starting point)
