highway. The car that Michael picked out costs $18,560. His dad agreed to purchase the car if Michael would pay it off in equal monthly payments for the next 64 months. The equation y= - 290x +18,560 represents the amount, y
(in dollars), that Michael owes his father after x months.

(a) How much does Michael owe his dad after 3 months?

(b) Determine the slope of the line and interpret its meaning in the context of this problem.

(c) Interpret the meaning of the slope in the context of this problem.

Answer:

17690

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount Michael owes is given by :

y = - 290x +18,560

x = number of months ; y = amount owed

Amount owed after 3 months :

Put x = 3 in the equation :

y= - 290(3) +18,560

y = - 870 + 18560

y = 17690

According to the general form of a linear equation :

y = mx + c

Where, m = slope ; c = intercept

The slope = - 290 ; Intercept = 18560

Slope is the change in y per unit change in x ; The slope means that amount owed, y decreases by 290 per month

The intercept shows that the original amount borrowed is 18560

Amount Michael owes his father decreases by 290 per month.
