Question

I opened a grocery account at my bank with $250. Every week thereafter, I withdraw $90 from the account to pay for groceries. If x is the number of weeks I've had the account, then y is the amount in the account. Find an equation of a line in the form y = mx + b that describes my grocery account balance.

Answer 1

y= -90x+250

Explanation:

From the information given, the equation would be that the amount in the account would be equal to -90 that is the amount you withdraw from the account each week multiply for x that is the number of weeks plus $250 that is your initial balance:

y= -90x+250, where

y= amount in the account

x= number of weeks.
