Question

Benny gets a job at a law firm with a salary of $70,000 per year. After the first year, his salary increases to $73,000. Over the next five years, he gets an increase of $3,000 every year.

If you were to plot a graph of Benny's annual salary, what would the slope and y-intercept be

What equation would represent Benny's annual salary over the years?

Answer 1

The y-intercept would represent Benny's starting salary: b = 70,000.

The slope would represent Benny's annual raise: m = 3,000.

Step-by-step explanation: This is the answer from edmentum

Answer 2

y intercept would be 70,000 (salary at year 0)

formula would be y = 3000x + 70000 where x is the end of the year number (for example. At the end of year 1, y = 3000(1) + 70000 = 73000)
