Question

The graph shows the amount of money Leslie saved over a 6 week period. Which answer choice most closely matches the graph below?AnswerFThe slope of 15 means that the initial amount Leslie had was $15. The y-intercept of 25 means that Leslie saved $25 each week.GThe slope of 25 means that the initial amount Leslie had was $25. The y-intercept of 15 means that Leslie saved $15 each week.HThe slope of 15 means that Leslie saved $15 each week. The y-intercept of 25 means that the initial amount Leslie had was $25.JThe slope of 25 means that Leslie saved $25 each week. The y-intercept of 15 means that the initial amount Leslie had was $15

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct option is G

Step-by-step explanation:

The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis. Here, it is below 20, so 15 is the reasonable option.

The slope, using the point (1, 40) is as follows:

x = 1, y = 4, and y-intercept b = 15 (This is the weekly savings)

y = mx + b

40 = m(1) + 15

m = 40 - 15 = 25 (This is the initial amount)

Therefore, we have slope = 25, and y-intercept = 15

The correct option is G
