Question

Kira owes her mom $125 and is planning to to payer back with payments $7 a week. Write an equation in slope-intercept form that models this situation.

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 17(7) + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Amount owed = $125

Payment per week = $7

Number of whole weeks to pay :

$125 / $7 = 17.85 = 17 whole weeks

$125 - (17 * 7) = $125 - $119 = $6

Using slope intercept notation :

y = mx + c

Where m = slope ; c = intercept. ;

m = 17,; x = $7, c = $6

y = 17(7) + 6
