Question

Emma opens a savings account with $100. She saves $60 per month. The equation T(n) = 60n + 100 can be used to represent this problem, where T(n) is Emma's total savings in dollars and n, represents the number of months. Question 1 (2 points) Which term in the equation is fixed? What does the fixed term represent in the context of the problem?

Answer 1

The fixed term is the y-intercept. In this case the y-intercept would be 100.

Explanation:

This is because the 100 dollars cannot be changed. You can always change the amount you save per month and the amount of months you save.
