Question

Karma was given some birthday money,she put the money in an account .Every month after that she deposits the same amount of money.

The equation that models this situation is y= 75x +60 where y is the amount of money in the account and x is the number of deposits.

what does the y-intercept mean in this situation?


A. she was given $75 for her birthday
B. she was given $60 for her birthday
C. she puts $60 in the account each month
D. she puts $75 in the account each month

Answer 1

The y intercept is the constant. She doesnt give that amount of money every month because there are x amount of months. That means the 75 is how much she puts in the account each month. So the answer would be B.
