You are given a graph of a linear equation, where the x-axis is time in months and the y-axis is money (in thousands) in your bank account. The equation of the line goes through the points (0, 5) and (10, 0). Explain what these points represent in the context of the situation.
Answer:The y-intercept, at the point (0, 5), indicates that you started with $5,000 in your bank account. The x-intercept, at the point (10, 0), indicates that, after 10 months, there was no money in your bank account.
