Brice Atkinson · Answer 1

The equation you write would be linear, and would be written in slope intercept form y=mx+b. Since Mr. Miller already has $25, we plug that in for "b" in the equation. We plug 10 in for "m", because "x" represents the number of weeks he has been saving. The equation would be y=10x+25. To find how much money Mr. Miller will have in 7 weeks, plug in 7 for x. y=10 (7) + 25 - > y=70+25 - > y=95 - > $95
