Joe is saving for a new online video game. He has some money already in his savings, and he can add $2.50 each week. This relationship is shown in the graph. Write an equation and explain what the slope and the y-intercept mean in this situation?

Answer:

slope is how much money joe adds to his account savings each week

the y intercept is the money he had before he started waiting

for the equation the slope is $2.50 and the y intercept is where the line hits the y axis but because you don't have a graph I don't know how to help you with this part, maybe someone else can!

hope this helps!

Answer: Y=2.50x+b

Explanation:

Thats not the whole answer, you didnt attach the graph but what you need to do is find the y-intercept and put that into b and theres your equation. The y-intercept(B) represents the initial money that joe had in his savings the 2.50x part or the slope is the money that he states he can add each week.
