Question

Troy's mom sets up a bank account for him with some money in it. Each month, Troy receives a set allowance, which is deposited into his bank account, for doing chores. The equation y = 35x + 80 represents this situation, where x is the number of months and y is the total amount of money in the bank account. What does the number 35 in the equation represent?

Answer 1

35 is the slope and is how much is deposited each month

Explanation:

y = 35x + 80

This is in the form y = mx +b

80 is the y intercept and is the initial amount in the bank account

35 is the slope and is how much is deposited each month

Answer 2

Because 35 is next to the x, which is the number of months.

The 35 would be the amount of his allowance which gets deposited into the bank each month.
