Answer:


\$47\ per\ week

Explanation:

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form
k=(y)/(x) or
y=kx

In a proportional relationship the constant of proportionality k is equal to the slope m of the line and the line passes through the origin

In his problem

The amount of savings per week is equal to the constant of proportionality k or slope of the linear equation

so

Looking at the graph

take the point (2,94)

x=2 weeks, y=$94

Find the value of k


k=(y)/(x)

substitute the values of x and y


k=(94)/(2)


k=\$47\ per\ week
