Marie is purchasing an online game. she pays $5 to download it and $2 for each month she continues to play the game.

which graph shows the amount of money marie will spend if she plays for a certain number of months

The second one. the one that starts at 5

Although I believe you are not taking algebra seeing as you are in an elementary school level. This appears as a linear function, the formula is y=mx+b, where b is the y-intercept, or where it starts. Marie pays $5 so that is her y-intercept it is where she starts spending money. Afterwards, she begins to pay $2 each month. Making mx, which is the slope or how the line increases, go up by two every month. On the graphs the x-axis stands for every month and the y-axis stands for how much she pays. Therefore, the first graph is immediately wrong because it asserts or shows how she first spent $7 which essentially is not true. She must start at $5 then begin increasing by $2.
