Question

this situation can be modeled as a linear relationship.
complete the statement that describes the situation.
kelly had saved before she started adding money from walking dogs. she earns for each dog she walks.

Explanation:

Step1: Find initial savings (y-intercept)

When \( x = 0 \) (no dogs walked), the total savings \( y = 80 \). So initial savings is \$80.

Step2: Calculate earnings per dog (slope)

Take two points, e.g., \( (0, 80) \) and \( (4, 120) \). Slope \( m=\frac{120 - 80}{4 - 0}=\frac{40}{4}=10 \). So she earns \$10 per dog.

Answer:

Kelly had \$80 saved before she started adding money from walking dogs. She earns \$10 for each dog she walks.
