The word per indicates the slope (m) of a linear function, y=mx +b.Using d for x and p for y , the equation representing Ashely's reading is p = 10d. Carly begins on page 40 which represents b, the y intercept of a linear function which indicates an initial amount. So the equation representing Carly's reading is p=8d + 40.
