Question

Cassandra already has $224 in a bank account.

She decides to save more by depositing $18 each week.


The amount of his savings M depends on the number of weeks elapsed n .


This relationship is represented using the equation M = 18n + 224.



Graphically, how would the line of this relationship change if Cassandra deposited $14 a week?

Please choose an answer.

The line will undergo a downward vertical translation.


The line will undergo a vertical translation upwards.


The inclination of the line will decrease.


The inclination of the line will increase.

Answer 1

the inclination of the line will decrease

Explanation:

If Cassandra changes the amount she deposits from 18 to 14, the slope changes to 14. So the new equation is M=14n + 224. The 224 is still the same, because that is the initial amount, and the new situation hasn't said anything about changing that, so it will not have any vertical translations. With that being said, as a result the slope will be less, so you can see it as "less vertical", so the inclination of the line will decrease
