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