Sarah deposited some money in a bank. The bank paid her a simple interest every year. After t years, the amount of money f(t), in dollars, that the bank paid Sarah was $1,500 greater than 15 times the number of years. Which statement best describes the steps to sketch a graph showing the relationship between f(t) and t?

Label t on the x-axis and f(t) on the y-axis, and plot a graph having slope = 1500 and y-intercept = 15.
Label f(t) on the x-axis and t on the y-axis, and plot a graph having slope = 50 and y-intercept = 100.
Label t on the x-axis and f(t) on the y-axis, and plot a graph

Question

Sarah deposited some money in a bank. The bank paid her a simple interest every year. After t years, the amount of money f(t), in dollars, that the bank paid Sarah was $1,500 greater than 15 times the number of years. Which statement best describes the steps to sketch a graph showing the relationship between f(t) and t?

 Label t on the x-axis and f(t) on the y-axis, and plot a graph having slope = 1500 and y-intercept = 15.
Label f(t) on the x-axis and t on the y-axis, and plot a graph having slope = 50 and y-intercept = 100.
Label t on the x-axis and f(t) on the y-axis, and plot a graph

anonymous · Answer

Label t on the x-axis and f(t) on the y-axis, and plot a graph having slope = 1500 and y-intercept = 15.

 Label f(t) on the x-axis and t on the y-axis, and plot a graph having slope = 50 and y-intercept = 100.

 Label t on the x-axis and f(t) on the y-axis, and plot a graph having slope = 15 and y-intercept = 1500.

 Label f(t) on the x-axis and t on the y-axis and plot a graph having slope = 1500 and y-intercept = 100.
