If you write the months and the dollars down on paper and add 300 everytime, you would get this:
First month= -2250
Second= -1950 and so on and so on until....
Eigth month= -150
Ninth month= 150
Since you're increasing in your economic status the whole time, this would not be a parabola, but a linear line....
should have a slope of (1/300)
positive in the 8 month
