Answer:

y = -0.25x + 30

Explanation:

8 × $0.25 = $2

After 8 months, with a $0.25 fee per month, your balance decreased by $2. Now it is $28.

That means it started at $28 + $2 = $30.

For the function, the initial value is $30.

The rate of change is -0.25 per month.

y = -0.25x + 30

where

x = number of months since the initial deposit

y = balance after x months
