Answer:

y = 10x + 100

Explanation:

The 100 bonus points are guaranteed, no matter if you use the site for 0 months or more. Thus, 100 is the constant, the y-intercept in a graph.

The 10 points you earn for each month is the rate of change, or slope.

The equation is:

y = 10x + 100

where x represents the number of months used, and y is the total points.

As a function, the equation is:

p(x) = 10x + 100

where x is the number of months, and p meaning points.
