Answer:

The slope is
-(350)/(month)\

Explanation:

This saving account is declining a fixed amount every month, this means that the function that represents this decline is linear.

The other thing we know is that originally (september 1), the account has a balance of $4900, and this is the intercept.

Therefore, for a linear function depending of the variable "x", we can write that


f(x)= (-(350)/(month)x+4900)\

where the units were factored. Then the slope is


-(350)/(month)\
