Question

Tyreek is saving money to buy a new video game system. He starts with $10.75 and saves $15.50 per week.

Write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form that represents Tyreek's savings, y, in terms of weeks, x.

The equation in slope-intercept form is $$
.

Answer 1

To write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), we need to identify the slope (m) and the y-intercept (b).

In this case:

- The slope (m) is the amount Tyreek saves each week, which is $15.50.
- The y-intercept (b) is the starting amount he has saved, which is $10.75.

Now we can substitute these values into the slope-intercept form:

\( y = mx + b \)

This gives us:

\( y = 15.50x + 10.75 \)

So, the equation in slope-intercept form is:

\[
y = 15.50x + 10.75
\]
