You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The value of a savings account invested at Simple interest can
be expressed as a linear equation.
If interest is 5% ,the investment is for t years, the initial deposit
is $1000, then
Value after t years is V(t) = 1000(1.05)t
-----------
Slope: if the slope is positive the the dependent variable
increases as the independent variable increases.
