The scenario modeled is option B.

We can obtain the slope-intercept equation of the graph in other to solve the problem given ;

  • y = bx + c ; c = intercept, b = slope

Slope = Rise/ Run

Slope = (1500-300) / (12 - 0)

Slope = 1200 / 12 = 100

b = $100

From the graph, the y-intercept is the value of y when x = 0.

Hence, c = 300

The equation is :

  • y = 100x + 300

Hence, amount saved per month is $100 and the starting amount is $300.

Therefore, the correct option is B.
