Final answer:

The equation for the amount of money in Jacqueline's bank account as she saves over time is not specified without additional context. We need to know the starting amount (y-intercept) and how much she saves regularly (slope) to identify the correct linear equation from the provided options.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation representing the amount of money in Jacqueline's bank account as she saves over time cannot be determined solely based on the options provided because the initial amount in the account (the y-intercept) and the rate of savings (the slope) are not given. However, using a linear equation similar to the one given for Svetlana (y = 25 + 15x), we can deduce that the y-intercept represents the initial amount of money and the slope represents the rate at which Jacqueline saves money over time (x).

Using this logic, let's assume 'y' represents the total amount of money in the account and 'x' represents the time. If the y-intercept represents the initial amount of money Jacqueline had in her account and the slope represents the amount she saves each time period, we would look for the equation where the y-intercept is positive (an initial sum of money) and the slope is positive (the amount saved per time unit).

Without additional information regarding Jacqueline's starting amount and how much she is saving over time, it is impossible to choose the correct equation from the given options. More context is needed to accurately determine which option (A, B, C, or D) correctly represents Jacqueline's saving situation.
