Because 35 is next to the x, which is the number of months.

The 35 would be the amount of his allowance which gets deposited into the bank each month.

Declan Doyle · Answer 2

35 is the slope and is how much is deposited each month

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 35x + 80

This is in the form y = mx + b

80 is the y intercept and is the initial amount in the bank account

35 is the slope and is how much is deposited each month
