You can use 780 as the y-intercept.

The 75 dollars is basically the slope of the line.

Let's use slope-intercept form:

where m is the slope, and b is the y-intercept.

Then we have:



This would be the proper equation and would tell you how much money he has after w weeks.

For instance, Week 0, when he hasn't deposited any money above the $780,

his balance is simply $780.

Week 1, it is now $780 plus $75, or $855.

You can now use that equation to find out his balance after any number of weeks,

even decades later!!!

I hope this helps! :)
