Question 1136038: The amount of credit card debt that Svetlana has can be estimated by using the equation
D = −100m + 5900
where D is the credit card debt in dollars m months after starting to pay her credit cards off.
Find the m intercept for the equation.
Answer by greenestamps(13200) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The m-intercept is the value of m (number of months) when D (her debt) becomes 0.
0 = -100m+5900
100m = 5900
m = 59
Her credit card debt will be paid off after 59 months.
More precisely, since the problem says -100m+5900 is an ESTIMATE of her credit card debt, her credit card debt will be paid off in ABOUT 59 months.
