Question

Task 1 Table and Equation
Mo has $90.00 already saved and has a job making $8.00 per hour.

A)Fill in the table of values for Mo’s financial story

Time worked in Hours
0
1
2
3
4
5
6
Money Saved in Dollars
















B)What is the slope (rate of change) for Mo?

C)What is the y intercept (starting point) for Mo?

Put that information together and write the slope intercept equation that models Mo’s story. Define your variables and write the function for Money Saved as a function of Time

Answer 1

A) The table of values for Mo's financial story would look like this:

Time worked in Hours
0
1
2
3
4
5
6

Money Saved in Dollars
90.00
98.00
106.00
114.00
122.00
130.00
138.00

B) The slope (rate of change) for Mo is $8.00/hour, as that is how much he earns per hour.

C) The y-intercept (starting point) for Mo is $90.00, as that is how much he already had saved before starting his job.

The slope-intercept equation that models Mo's story is:
Money Saved = (Rate of change)*(Time worked) + Starting point

In this case, the equation would be:
Money Saved = $8.00/hour * Time worked + $90.00
