Question

The equation 125 + 37.52x = y models the amount of money in your wallet Y is the total amount of dollars and x is the number of weeks from today. Is the equation in slope intercept form? Explain

If you graphed this situation what would the slope represent? Explain

If you graphed this situation what would the y intercept be and what would it represent?

What units make sense for the slope?

Answer 1

Please check solution for answer

Explanation:

The general equation of for the slope of a line is

y = mx + c

where m is slope and c is the y-intercept

a). Yes it is in the slope-intercept form

b) The slope would represent the amount of money in dollars per week that is in the wallet

c) The y-intercept would be 125 and it is the amount of money present in the wallet before today

d) The slope would have a unit of dollars per week
