Paul used his graduation money to start a landscaping business. He has made the same amount of money every
month since opening his business, so his business profits
can be represented with a linear function where x is the
months since starting his business and y is the overall
profits. His overall profits after 1, 2, 3, and 6 months are
shown in the table.
1) What is the y intercept of the linear function that
describes his business profits? What does this number
represent in this example?
2) If Paul's business continues to make the same amount of
money each month, what would his profits be in 1 year?
