An equation for Jored to show how many months it will take to pay the $75.00 for the HD movie player is 75 = 15 + 7.50m. It would take Jored 8 months to complete the payment.

In Mathematics and Geometry, the slope-intercept form of the equation of a straight line refers to the general equation of a linear function and it is represented by this mathematical equation;

y = mx + b

Where:

  • m represents the slope or rate of change.
  • x and y are the points.
  • b represents the y-intercept or initial value.

Note: Let the variable represent the number of months.

The base or initial price (y-intercept) is $15 and Jored would be paying $7.50 per month, in order to offset a total cost of $75.

In this context, an equation the number of months it will take Jored to pay the $75.00 for the HD movie player is given by;

75 = 15 + 7.50m.

By solving for m, we have:

75 + 15 = 7.50m

m = 90/7.50

m = 8 months.

Complete Question:

Jored and Sundai each want to buy a new HD movie player. They go to Electronics Superstore and find a HD movie player for $75.00. Electronics Superstore offers different payment plans. Jored is going to pay $15 now and then $7.50 per month. Sundai is going to pay $12.50 per month.

From the above prompt, write an equation for Jored to show how many months it will take to pay the $75.00 for the HD movie player.
