considering the one-time deposit and monthly rent, the equation y=1200+400x can be used to represent y, the total cost of renting an apartment for x months. what is the amount of the deposit?

y = 1200 + 400x

this is basically saying that the one time security deposit is $ 1200 and ur rent is $ 400 per month

1200 is the deposit.

It is the one-time deposit, because 1200 is a constant, and will never change

hope this helps
