Respuesta :

Answer:

C) They started their saving with same amount of $2.00.

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount Megan and Sophia started their savings with corresponds to the y-intercept of the linear equations representing their savings. This is because it denotes the savings amount (y-value) when the time (x-value) is zero.

The equation showing Mary's savings is y = 7x + 2. Its y-intercept is 2, so Mary started her savings with $2.00.

The graph showing Sophia's savings crosses the y-axis at y = 2, so its y-intercept is also 2. Therefore, Sophie also started her savings with $2.00.

Therefore, the correct statement is:

  • They started their saving with same amount of $2.00.
