Question 627713: In relation to a bank account, think of a linear equation (y = mx + b). What would the slope represent? What would the y-intercept represent? Please give an example.
Answer by jim_thompson5910(35256)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Say you start with 100 dollars in your account. This would be the value of 'b'
So b = 100
If you add 20 dollars each week, then this is the slope m. So m = 20.
Therefore, after x weeks, you'll have y = 20x + 100 dollars in your account.
