Question

Mrs. Temps borrows $ 200 from Mrs. Abruzzino and is paying her back $ 20 every month. Describe the graph of a function that describes the amount Mrs. Temps owes Mrs. Abruzzino over time.

Answer 1

The equation for this line would be y = -20x + 200. The y-intercept is 200 and represents the amount of money Mrs. Temps owes Mrs. Abruzzino in the beginning. The slope is -20 which represents how much Mrs. Temps pays back Mrs. Abruzzino each month. The x-axis should increase by 1 months.
