Question

Leslie's sister gave Leslie $120 as her celebration gift to get a job. Leslie put all the money into her bank account. Then she started save $100 each month. a. Write an equation in slope-intercept form (v = mx + b) to describe the relationship number of month and the total amount of savings.

Answer 1

v = $100x + $120

Explanation:

In this scenario, the fixed amount would be the $120 that Leslie's sister gave her. While $100 would be multiplied by the number of months (x) that have passed by which in this scenario would be our variable since we do not have this information. Lastly, these two values would be added to give us Leslie's total savings (v)

v = $100x + $120
