Let's define the variables:
- Time worked in hours (x)
- Money saved in dollars (y)
The slope (rate of change) for Mo is the amount he earns per hour, which is $8. The y-intercept (starting point) for Mo is $90.
Therefore, the slope-intercept equation that models Mo's story is:
y = 8x + 90
Task 1 Table and Equation
Mo has $90.00 already saved and has a job making $8.00 per hour.

What is the slope (rate of change) for Mo?
8
What is the y intercept (starting point) for Mo?
90
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 using y=mx+b
