You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Say you start with 100 dollars in your account. This would be the value of 'b'\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So b = 100\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If you add 20 dollars each week, then this is the slope m. So m = 20.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Therefore, after x weeks, you'll have y = 20x + 100 dollars in your account.\r
