Question

You saved $300 to spend over the summer. You decide to budget $50 to
spend each week
Part A Write an equation that represents this situation.
Part B: Represent the situation on the graph below.
Part C: What is the slope of the line? What does the slope representa
Part D: What is the y-intercept? What does this point represent?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

part A:

okay so you saved $300 and choose to spend $50 a week

the 300 is positive and is the y-intercept since thats the amount of money you start with

and the 50 is negative because that is being spent and is the slope

so the equation is:

y = -50x + 300

part B:

the graph will be on the bottom

the (6, 0), aka the x-intercept, shows that in 6 weeks you will be out of money

the (0, 300), aka the y-intercept, shows that in the beginning of summer you have $300

part C:

the y-intercept is 300; it represents the amount of money you have in the beginning of the summer
