@UsukiDoll @jim_thompson5910

OpenStudy (bobobox):

The slope is 20 and the y intersept is 50

OpenStudy (bobobox):

what do you think

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

so we have y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

OpenStudy (bobobox):

yeah

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

we are given the equation y = 20x+50 so the slope is m =20 and y-intercept b=50

OpenStudy (bobobox):

so whats our next step

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

we have the first sentence as the price of a pool membership is a one time fee and the monthly fee

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

also given that x = # of months

OpenStudy (bobobox):

okay think that 50 is the membership fee

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

slope is 20 and x = #of months.. so that 20 is month related

OpenStudy (bobobox):

yeah! I am i on the right track?

OpenStudy (bobobox):

I think the answer is A

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

slope is 20 x - # of months 20(#of months) it's the monthly fee like for example x = 1.. as in 1 month y = 20x+50 y=20(1)+50 y=20+50 = 70 dollars for the initial fee of 50 and 20 for the monthly fee.

OpenStudy (bobobox):

okay I think it's A Because it say that 20 is the slope which it is, and that it's the monthly fee

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

yeah
