Exercise 7 Page 91

Use the slope-intercept form with 100 as the y-intercept and 10 for the slope.

Practice makes perfect
When dealing with cost, the amount per week, $10, is a rate of change that gets multiplied by the independent variable, w, and the initial savings, $100, fixed price to be added once. Let's use T as the total money saved and w as the number of weeks. T= 10w + 100

We can make a table of values to find points to plot. Our domain is a positive number of weeks, so we can start with w=1 and go up from there.

w 10w + 100 T
1 10( 1) + 100 110
2 10( 2) + 100 120
3 10( 3) + 100 130

Now, let's plot those points and connect them with a straight line.
