Answer 1

To interpret the y-intercept and slope in the context of the given situation:

1. y-intercept: The y-intercept represents the initial amount in the savings account before any deposits are made. In this case, the y-intercept is $300.

2. slope: The slope refers to the rate of change, which in this context is the amount of money deposited into the savings account each month. Since $50 is deposited every month, the slope is $50 every month.

Putting it all together:

• The y-intercept is $300.
• The slope is $50 every month.
