Question

now that youve found the vertical intercept and slope, you can write an equation. first, show how you could write an equation in words. slope = 6 vertical intercept = -3

Explanation:

Step1: Identify variable and components

The dependent variable (total dollars in account, $y$) is equal to the change per day (slope) times days ($x$) plus the starting amount (vertical intercept).

Step2: Map to word equation

Match labels to the linear form $y = mx + b$, where $m$ is slope, $b$ is intercept.

Answer:

$\text{dollars in account} = \text{change in the amount in the account} \times \text{number of days} + \text{starting amount}$

Filled into the blanks:
First blank (left): $\text{dollars in account}$
Second blank (middle): $\text{change in the amount in the account} \times \text{number of days}$
Third blank (right): $\text{starting amount}$

Or in the exact structure of the given boxes:
$\boldsymbol{\text{dollars in account}} = \boldsymbol{\text{change in the amount in the account} \times \text{number of days}} + \boldsymbol{\text{starting amount}}$
