Question

Can someone please take the time out of they’re day and help me and with this question

Answer 1

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Calculate m using the slope formula

m = $\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }$

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 100) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, 200) ← 2 points on the line

m = $\frac{200-100}{2-0}$ = $\frac{100}{2}$ = 50

The line crosses the y- axis at (0, 100 ) ⇒ c = 100

y = 50x + 100 ← equation of line

where y is monthly savings and x the time in months

(b)

Slope is the monthly deposit , that is $50 per month

The y- intercept indicates the original amount in her account , that is $100
