The first thing we must do for this case is to define the variables:
x = the amount earned
y = the money saved
The equation of the line that adapts to this problem is given by:
y = (1/5) x
Let's check:
For x = 20 $ we have:
y = (1/5) (20)
y = 4 $
Answer:
The slope of Mike's graphed line will be:
B) 1/5
