The initial cost to get into the arcade is $5 so that would be the y-intercept (b) in a slope equation (y=mx+b). Since each game costs $0,25, then that would be the slope (m) and x would be the number of games she played. y would equal the total amount of money spent. So if she played 10 games, substitute 10 for x and multiply by 0,25 and take the answer and add 5 to get the total amount.
well now he has one of the things that he wanted and he has some money in the bank to build up interest or to have for an emergency. it was also good because it was the cheaper of the two items.
