Answer:

y = 2000 + 500x

Explanation:

2000 is the constant, because no matter how many months it takes for him to pay off the car, he has to pay the $2000 today.

And after he pays the 2000, every month he has to pay $500 until he pays the full price, so 500x stand for the months after he pays the initial $2000.
