Mary is putting money into a checking account. Let y represent the total amount of money in the account (in dollars). Let x represent the number of weeks Mary has been adding money. Suppose that x and y are related by the equation =+75030xy . Answer the questions below. Note that a change can be an increase or a decrease. For an increase, use a positive number. For a decrease, use a negative number.
What is the change per week in the amount of the account?
what was the starting amount money in the account?
So mary is putting 30 dollars a week into a savings account. The y-intercept is 750 which means that before she started putting money she had 750 dollars.
The change per week is 30 dollars increase. The starting amount is 750 dollars.
