It’s a positive slope, constant slope, and increasing function. Because it’s a straight line going diagonally to the top right, you know the slope is positive, constant, and the function is positive.

You saved $300 to spend over the summer. You decide to budget $50 to spend each week.

Answer:

Part c)

The Slope of the line is: m=-50 and represents the amount of money spent per week.

Part d)

The y-intercept is: c=300 and represents the maximum money we have that can be spend over the weeks (i.e. our maximum budget alowed).

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question we shall look at linear equations of the simplest form reading:

$y = mx+c$ Eqn(1).

where:

$y$ : is our dependent variable that changes as a function of x

$x$ : is our independent variable that 'controls' our equation of y

$m$ : is the slope of the line

$c$ : is our y-intercept assuming an $x$ ⇔ $y$ relationship graph.

This means that as $x$ changes so does $y$ as a result.

Given Information:

Here we know that $300 is our Total budget and thus our maximum value (of money) we can spend, so with respect to Eqn (1) here:

$c=300$

The budget of $50 here denotes the slope of the line, thus how much money is spend per week, so with respect to Eqn (1) here:

$m=50$

So finally we have the following linear equation of:

$y= - 50x + 300$ Eqn(2).

Notice here our negative sign on the slope of the line. This is simply because as the weeks pass by, we spend money therefore our original total of $300 will be decreasing by $50 per week.

So with respect to Eqn(2), and different weeks thus various $x$ values we have:

Week 1: $x=1$ we have $y= -50 *1 + 300 = -50 +300 = 250$ dollars.
