Answer 1

Explanation:

1a. x represents the amount of weeks Jackson has saved $15.

1b. y represents the total amount of money in his bank account. Amount of weeks he has been payed $15, plus the $35 in his bank account.

1c. the slope is 15. Supposedly the amount of weeks increases by 1 (x), from the equation given, the total amount of money increases by $15, indicating that there's an increase of $15 per every increase of (x).

2. y-intercept = 35. 35 represents the amount of money Jackson has saved after 0 weeks. (x = 0)

In other words, this is where Jackson has just continued to save $15 for the first week.

y = 35
