Question

An apartment lease states that the rent will go up $60 each year. The rent in the 6th year is $1250. Identify the slope and point,then write a linear equation in the point slope form which models the rent in terms of how many years the tenants have lived there.

Answer 1

Answer:

The slope of the linear equation will be 60 and the point on the line will be (6,1250).

R - 1250 = 60(y - 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

An apartment lease states that the rent will go up by $60 each year. The rent in the 6th year is $1250.

Therefore, the slope of the linear equation will be 60 and the point on the line will be (6,1250).

Now, the point-slope form of the linear equation which models the rent (R(y)) in terms of how many years (y) the tenants have lived there will be

R - 1250 = 60(y - 6) (Answer)
