What was the starting amount of money in the account?
What is the change per week in the amount of money in the account?
You can put this solution on YOUR website! or
compare to slope intercept form of linear equation:
where is a slope (rate of change) and is y-intercept ( value of when )
so, in your case rate of change
if ,a change will increase,if a change will decrease
in your case a change will increase, and in case you have a change will decrease
What was the starting amount of money in the account?
y-intercept shows you starting amount, and in your case it is
What is the change per week in the amount of money in the account?
it is a slope; so,
