Question

javier opens a savings account with a starting balance of $200 and plans to deposit $75 each week after opening the account and savings over time is represented by the graph below how would the graph change if javier open his account with a starting balance of $300 instead

Answer 1

Answer:

The starting value on the y-axis would be at the point (0,300) instead of (0,200).  

Step-by-step explanation:

Javier's savings account represents a linear equation, where $200 represents his initial value, or y-intercept, and $75 represents the slope, or rate of change.  Since Javier is adding an additional $75 per week, the linear equation is increasing at a steady rate.  If he were to start with $300 instead of $200, his initial value would change, however, he would still increase his overall amount by the same rate each week, or $75.
