Q:

Anna started with $10. She saved an additional $5 each week. Write an equation that can be used to determine the total amount saved in dollars, t, after a given number of weeks, w. Determine which variable is independent and which is dependent. Then, graph the total amount saved for the first 8 weeks.

Accepted Solution

A:
Step-by-step explanation:Okay so, Anna starts with $10, right? So this means the y-intercept is $10 and we can start with y = mx +10Then it says she gets $5 a week which is the m in the equation so you gety = 5x +10The x will stand for the number of weeks.The independent variable is the number of weeks because it is affected by nothing.The dependent variable is the amount of money she receives weekly because it is being measured against the x variable.Sorry, I cannot graph this for you, but remember that the slope is 5 and you graph rise over runI hope I helped and good luck with homework!
