I opened a grocery account at my bank with $250. Every week thereafter, I withdraw $35 from the account to pay for groceries.
If x is the number of weeks I've had the account, then y is the amount in the account.
Find an equation of a line in the form y = mx + b that describes my grocery account balance.

y = -35x + 250
---
m = -35, b = 250
